A TCP/IP suite was one of the things I was thinking about too. I see
TurboPower's Internet Professional components in the Lazarus sources but
haven't tried them yet. Are they working?

As an alternative to Indy, I've had excellent results with the Synapse
library by Lukas Gebauer. In addition to supporting just about every
protocol on the planet, I've found Synapse to be very stable and easy to
maintain. It uses a blocking socket model so no thread support is
required... and it already works with Kylix. If Lazarus doesn't have a
working TCP/IP suite, perhaps Synapse would be a good first candidate.
