Hi.
I'm trying to create some communication bridge between server and client... or client to server to client... something like instant messengers, I guess.

I understand it has to do with TCP/IP and all that to come up with "instant"-ness in delivering the messages.

I'm trying to build a homepage with membership.. and when the user logs in, the server could "push" any message to the user and the user should get it right away.

Can you give some suggestions or redirect me to some good resources to how to go about building this?

My homepage is created using ASP and SQL Server so far...

thanks..
