Hi -- not a comment on SSIP per se, but when I tried following that link
from the email IE7 failed to launch -- I had to call it and paste the link
in order to get to your page, which is fine, albeit a few keystrokes extra.
Anyone know why the link wouldn't activate from the email (using OE)? Other
links in other mails work fine.
Cheers.

Subject: Announcing availability of SSIP for Windows 1.3 beta
Now available at
http://www.remoteaccessbridge.com/ssip/
is the first beta release of the SSIP for Windows server. The link above
is the SSIP page on the RemoteAccessBridge website. The page has the
following sections:
Introduction to SSIP for Windows
Simplifying SSIP usage through client wrappers
Downloading the SSIP for Windows software
Providing feedback or reporting bugs
Please keep the following in mind as you install and try out this
product:
1. If you have suggestions or comments regarding this product which are
appropriate for a public forum, feel free to post them here. However, I
would encourage you to use the mailto link provided on the web page.
This will go to my RemoteAccessBridge mailbox and I will compile a list
of recommendations and bug reports to use in future releases.
2. The current installer does not have the ability to detect whether the
SSIP server is already running. If it is and you try to re-install, the
installer will error out because required files can't be overwritten.
Therefore, if you already have an installed and running copy of the
server, make sure you shut down the server before running the install.
3. The client wrappers for both DotNet and java are included with the
installation. If you allow the installer to use the default install
directory, these will be located in c:\Program
files\SSIP4Windows\Clients in the dotnet and java subdirectories
respectively.
4. The DotNet directory under Clients contains the SSIPClient.dll
assembly, a copy of the web documentation file, and both source and
executable code for a sample program called SSIPClientDemo.
5. While the java directory under Clients contains the wrapper,
SSIPClient1.0.jar, the sample class SSIPClientDemo.java is not included
with this release. You can, however, read the java client API
documentation on the web page and can include the jar in your projects
with little difficulty; especially, if you use the source for the C#
class as a starting point. Keep in mind that the SSIPClient for java
makes use of some collections objects. It is suggested that the client
be used with java 1.4 or higher.
6. The server can run in 2 different modes; normal and debug. In normal
mode, there is no SSIP server window initially opened and only a system
tray icon is shown. Selecting the tray icon allows you to either open
the SSIP monitor console window or shut down the server. When started in
debug mode, another option on the SSIP for windows group added to
Start/All Programs, the monitor window is opened automatically. This
window allows you to see when client applications connect to the server
and what request/response strings are passed. Within the monitor window,
you have buttons to clear the console text or shut down the SSIP server.
7. I have noticed that, from time to time, I have lost the system tray
icon even though the server continues to execute. When this occurs in
normal mode, there is no way of accessing the server to shut it down
aside from going to task manager and killing the process. Am working on
that little bug.
So that's it for the initial release. I look forward to your comments
and suggestions. Also, now that the initial effort of setting up the web
page and getting the installer loaded out is done, making updates should
be a little simpler.
