I think MB Trading uses the RealTick/TAL toolkit as their back-end. I have used TAL before on a project and it was very fast, but I would be concerned that a simple text protocol would be very inefficient.
their API docs are available on some yahoo group thing, i signed up for a demo account a while back and looked into it. plaintext in itself would be inefficient but would get compressed a lot just by encapsulating in an ssl socket.

Are you talking about the feed itself, or a canned application that accesses the feed?
just the feed itself, not some library/program that runs on your machine that you interface with, you'd be connecting remotely and parsing the raw data feed.

A MBT customer service rep recently told me MBT was getting their data from ComStock but you can not count on MBT customer service reps for correct information.

in case you mean me by this, i am looking for a data feed and APIs for using the feeds, preferably C/C++
I am not interested in canned application or charting and trading applications, I put the trades in the web interface of the brokers, I have no problem with that and all web interfaces so far run fine in linux
