Hardware and Internet questions
« on: October 24, 2005, 02:43:15 AM »

I have a couple of questions.

How does REBOL connect to the Internet/WWW? Does it need/use an existing browser like IE something?

I am interested in experimenting with hardware control. Can REBOL communicate with my WLAN card?

Your connection to the internet is handled by Windows itself using a protocol called TCP/IP, and IE, your mailer, REBOL and other software use it to connent to the other computers on the Net.  (Or something like that - I'm no Net expert.)

Type "define:tcp/ip" into Google for a lot of brief descriptions of it.  See also...

Others will have to handle your other question.  It's something I've not touched.
