AFAIK, Lnet does not do threading internally (as does AsyncPro or -
partly - Indy), so if you need to wait for TCP input while doing other
things in your program, you need to do your own thread, anyway.
[Nod] Works adequately for a telnet-based terminal though.
I switched from Lnet to Synapse lately, as same seems to a lot of
provide usable protocols. Synapse does not provide internal threads,
either.
True. Synapse's protocol support is second to none, but in the current
case there's really no protocol involved- grab/store data and that's it.
