Your application sounds in many ways like a "server" in the sense that it
needs to maintain a lot of open connections (the fact that a threaded
implementation seems natural to you is a strong clue). The only real
difference here is that you originate the connections instead of accepting
them. Feel free to write me a private email and I can support you through
the Windows install problem you're having (you need a compiler to install
EventMachine). I can also write you a sample app based on my understanding
of what you're trying to do. If it works and you like it, we can post it
back to this list for the benefit of others.
