Dave,

unfortunately no change.

It's not at "accept" time, it's really about 20 seconds for each line. When
the server says "HELLO\r\n", the client takes 20 seconds until it returns
from "gets" with that line.

In my eyes, this sounds like a timeout issue - only when a timeout occurs,
the "gets" returns.

I read about a patch needed for 1.8.1 about nonblocking connect() somewhere
in the INet, but it did not sound as if it helps for my gets() problem.

What I did find out in the meantime: this only happens if the server task
runs on my NT4 machine - another machine (Win2K) reacts fast. So I guess I
can run the server task on a different machine and be happy. Yet I'd like to
know the reason...
