Hi,

In about two month, the Object IO library will contain a TCP interface.
It will contain a synchronous and an asynchronous part. A synchronous
receive of  data will block the program until some data has arrived. The
asynchronous part is to go around the problems involved with blocking
(and polling). In this event driven model, the callback function of a
(Object IO library) receiver will be called with the received data as a
parameter.

regards
