It involves me creating a local TCPServer that simply echos any lines it receives back to the socket, and creating a bunch of TCPSockets. Then the sockets can use puts() in delayed threads while they're all being checked in a loop { select() } to see if they have data ready to be gets()'d. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
