Hi, I am currently programming a chat application under windows and I was wondering which socket strategy I should use for the server part: The server will have to handle 200 simultaneous connections max (in the reality there will be about 50 clients connected) I am used to programming asynchronous sockets, but will the server be able to manage 200 simultaneous connections? Thanks, John O''Byrne (john.obyrne@free.fr)

Yes it will be. Well except if you''re running it on a 56K modem

Thanks,

This chat application will mostly run on a LAN so bandwidth won''t be a problem
