I want to develop an application in .net which will connect to non-microsoft
operating system. can anyone help????

Ok,
can you be more specific with your requirements?

Are you planning to use socket communications?  That works.  .NET does TCP
or UDP. There's a full stack complete with asynch I/O.

Or maybe you hope to use 3rd-party message-oriented middleware to
communicate between machines?  no problem.  .NET can connect to MQSeries.

Possibly you want to connect to a remote database?   Ok, no problem, with
the various ADO.NET providers, .NET apps can connect to Oracle, DB2, MySQL,
Informix, Sybase, etc etc, regardless of platform.

Or maybe you want to set up Web services from .NET to a Java app running on
Linux or some other Unix?   That works, too.

Thinking of using a REST approach using XML over HTTP?  This is simple and
easy in .NET, as receiver or producer.

or maybe you had something else in mind?
