My issue is that I was using netcat without -u for UDP - I somehow do
these things 1am ;-)
But anyway, here's the eventmachine version which I am probably going
to use because
it is so very nice. Thanks for your example too!


require 'eventmachine'

module UmmpServer
	def post_init
		puts "client connected!"
	end

	def receive_data(data)
		p data
	end
end

EventMachine::run do
	EventMachine::open_datagram_socket('10.0.0.103', 7779, UmmpServer)
	EventMachine::add_periodic_timer(1) { puts "." }
end



Brilliant hey?
