Hello,
I am currently implementing a D-BUS binding (http://github.com/blitz/cl-dbus) that needs a networking compatibility layer with support for TCP and local sockets. Not having to write implementation-dependent code to achieve this would be quite beneficial to the project.
I'd like to ask, if there is any interest in integrating Unix domain sockets (AF_LOCAL) or Linux' abstract socket hack into usocket.
Regards,

I think usocket is supposed to be a portable layer on top of what Lisp implementations offer. Whereas IOLib is supposed to provide you finer-grained access to what your OS offers.
Take a look at IOLib at
http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib/
it already comes with what you need.

Yes there is. Check this thread: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/usocket-devel/2008-August/000430.html
