Right on :)

I noticed this problem in another way. My old chatserver started DRb
and handed it the server class so I could quickly get number of
chatters, chatter list etc, for an admin program. DRb didn't interfere
with the select loop and runs in it's own thread fine, at least that's
my understanding.

When i start my myriad version the entire program just stalls when i do
this

DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:#{ARGV[1].to_i+10}",@@rooms)

Myriad.run do
    Myriad.trap('INT') { Myriad.shutdown }
    listener = Myriad::Listener.new(ARGV[0], ARGV[1],
OneRoomChatServer)
end

now I'm thinking, maybe the Event.loop(Event::NONBLOCK) would be good
inside the Drb service somewhere? this isn't actually that important to
me right now, just pointing it out.
