Betreff: AW: [ntdev] How Do I Get A Kernel driver Signal a thread?

the best idea i have is to check microsoft
technology called proxy driver: i used it
years ago and found very interesting.

the architecture is: drive calls an external
com object and gets the answer back.

there was also additional sample for ftp
virtual filesystem realizing connection
on user level, but emulating full functionality
for fsd.

let me know if you get troubles find the archive -
i should have it somewhere in my archives

regards
mike
