Description:
This project is intended to be a collection of TCP/IP clients and servers for 
use in general debugging and small intranet/internet sites.

Currently, various servers have been written and tested - POP3, SMPT, DICT, 
QOTD, DayTime, Time, Chargen, Echo, Discard. I have also experimented with HTTP 
and NNTP servers although those will be intended for a later version.

The code is developed under Borland Delphi 6 (Personal Edition) and currently 
is completly self-contained. No external DLLs or other libraries are required.

The final aim is to have a single server application hopefully running as a 
service, with plugin modules - one server per plugin - so that the user can 
download or upgrade just the necessary components.

The clients whilst not being an integral part of the part of the project, may 
be useful to users. Their purpose is primarily for testing the servers.

Target audience is developers of web-based applications who may access to (for 
example) a small POP3/IMAP/SMTP server to check their code, organisations 
running small intranet sites, network engineers and so on.
