Hi, after reading the [login to view URL], this is unfortunately not a $10-$30 project. If someone bids at that price, you will not be satisfied.
I have been doing socket programming on UNIX/Linux for 25 years. I can knock this out in in a couple days. It will take that time, because I am currently working on my own software release.
I know TCP/UDP like the back of my hand. network byte order is like turning on or off a light switch. The details are pretty specific so there doesn't seem to by any ambiguity in the project.
If you want, I can start first thing in the morning. I am in Chicago (CST) so the thing for you to do is assign and deposit the milestone. Since the project is for such a small amount, you will need to deposit the full amount. Once deposited I will accept.
Please see my reviews on client/server projects. They are pretty much the main thing I specialize on.
The client and server will be written in pure C. I know the project is only for UNIX, but if you would like it to work on Windows as well, I can do that for the same price. I will create a makefile to build the client and server and follow all the command line usage requirements.
Talk soon,
Mark Oliver
