Omg. AFAIS this package got only 2 votes, how did go in? Anyway, we can not use or provide a so important package Net_Server with the current implementation. Don't get me bad, the code looks pretty, I even tested it, but the definition of a "server" means that you can simultaneously serv petitions to many clients, and this class can only secuentially serv petitions. I'm sad to say it, but I'm +1 for dropping it, you could always offer it from your nice website. -- Tomas V.V.Cox mailto:cox@idecnet.com
