Hi,
There are lots of messages dropping to comp.lang.lisp and #lisp @ irc.freenode.net about how to poll a connection socket. One common advice is to implement it on top of READ-CHAR-NO-HANG with timers. Would anybody consider contributing such a socket polling facility to usocket library? It might not be totally portable across all lisp implementations in the wide, but will probably run on major ones. This will be better than not having any. Any ideas?
Regards.
