    I don't really care about the advertising/not advertising issue, but if you're
    going to do this you really need to sort out your claims a bit better:

    >*Low memory utilization per connected client - unique to mocana

    I doubt it.

    >*Zero-threaded - unique to mocana

    ... and every app and OS in existence that's more than about 10 years old.

    >*Synchronous API (familiar BSD-like socket API) - unique to mocana

    So you guys invented BSD sockets, and only you use them?

    >*Asynchronous API (packet notification based TCP/IP stack) - unique to
    >mocana

    ... and many other OSes and systems.

    >*Automatic Key Generation - unique mocana feature

    ... except for all the others that do this.

    >*Automatic ASN.1 X509 certificate generation - unique to mocana

    ... and virtually every other implementation in existence.

    >*All functions return an error status - unique to mocana

    Is there any API where the functions *don't* return an error indication/throw
    an exception/set error state/etc?

    So basically your entire shopping list boils down to "Just like all the
    others, except we have low memory usage".

    Peter.
