a Linux deamon, could handle 800 requests/second
Thats some performance indeed... Though the reason I chose Sockets was not primarily because it fits in virtually zero resources but because it comes as part of the default pascal units, does not require any 3rd party code and was quite flexible to write everything from the ground up.

However, it does amaze me that there is such little knowledge on SIGPIPE - I mean, its the core of linux and modern computing... Now that everything works so well and its just this problem causing hitches and snags - I'd hate to drop all that code because of some SIGPIPE error if you know what I'm getting at. So far, everything fits in a 600kb executeable and 1,003kb of ram needing a whopping 1.6mhz of cpu power to handle 25 simultaneous clients of I/O. So far, port redirection is working, as is a basic TX & RX protocol - authentication is on the way and the bones of a permission system is already present. Not that I need it to use so little resources, its just a feature - one that I can hopefully migrate into future projects: I'm looking into those tiny embedded boards that pack enough punch for windows xp (just) but are a few mm tall, and a few inches square with <1w power consumption. Fits in a small box, and when booted with linux can run a very bare bones version of X and OpenGLES with a custom UI could be so sweet

The only thing I could dig up was: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive...4e7vvncSxNbiG1 And I can't seem to make any sense of it
