Maron,

Sorry about the delay getting back to you about the object creation 
error indicated in the snapshot. I am almost certain that the error is 
deriving from the creation of http objects by winhttp.dll.  Microsoft's 
implementation of HTTP stuff for VB is really lame. I couldn't make the 
standard HTTP control work at all with the Grandstreams, and winhttp 
would only work bug free with post operations. Get operations were 
transmitted, but crashed the program if I tried to access any of the 
data that was supposedly returned.  It doesn't surprise me that 
emulation of the winhttp's object creation also fails. This also means 
that the phone reboot code will fail, since I also create an http object 
for each booting phone.  One thing you should check is to make sure that 
winhttp.dll is in fact supported by wine and that you have the support 
installed.

I wish I had better suggestions. Is there any way to splice a different 
http handler onto the program using "wine"? One possibility is to scrap 
the winhttp com object altogether and write the http code using the 
c/c++ interface from VB, which doesn't use object creation. This would 
make programming the http stuff a lot harder, but might avoid the 
problem.  Then again, if winhttp is not supported by wine, this won't 
help.  I'll keep thinking about it, but for now, I'm at a loss.
