Yup, thats the one. In RDC.e, the socket routines (read,write,connect,etc.)
are not as accessible in the code as I had previously thought. The c_func
calls are hard-coded into read_object/write_object routines, instead of
wrapping the socket functions in their own routine.
I eventually wanted to make RDC handle asynchronous sockets under Linux, but
haven't done enough research into the subject. Having looked at Brians
winsock server example, I am annoyed at how windows-centric the code is. Is
is possible to do asynchronous sockets without a window to get events from?

Not really sure how do it from code... under Linux you could exec "ifconfig
-a" and redirect the output to a file and parse it for the mask, but that
seems like an ugly hack.
