Tcp-ip tmidasconnection, socket server

Question: How does the socket server (\bin\Scktsrvr.exe) interact with TMidasConnection? Answer: The socket server is something like a service that replaces DCOM, but without the security. When a client application sets Connected = True on a TMidasConnection, the socket server on the server machine creates the remote data module. Then it takes the IDispatch invoke and GetIDsOfNames methods and marshals them through the socket connection, using TCP/IP.
