Judah Levine did write me back. I haven't had time to
look at his recommendations yet. And, he indicated too
that he had no knowledge of such VBA tools.

I don't know anything about VBA -- I have never used it and our
client software is written in C.
I don't know if it would be of any help, but you can get a
number of example programs from our servers. For example, look at
the files in directory:
ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/daytime
Specifically, look at tcp_time_client.c, which shows a bare-bones
version
in C. If VBA does not support network socket connections, then it
might be possible to implement the connection in a VBA subroutine
written in C. I have never done this, but I assume that it is
possible.
However, my guess is that VBA supports winsock network calls, and it
is just a matter of getting the correct syntax using the C calls as
a guide.
Good luck.
