Thanks so much for all this information.  You've been very helpful  
and I appreciate it.

A couple more questions and then I promise I'm done:

1.  Do I then use send() and recvfrom() to write and read data?   
(Other messages in this thread have me nervous about recvfrom().)
2.  Will these also throw Errno::EWOULDBLOCK?

Thanks again.
