Thanks for that link. Yes, I've looked into patched version of Vim. At this moment I don't want to force alpha-testers to patch Vim with network_io.patch -- while it's not stable and not found it's way into main Vim repository. About messing with Vim function calls from inside RealWaitForChar - I'm warned already. Currently I need only respond to keep-alive messages. /Gaspar -- Gaspar Chilingarov System Administrator, Network security consulting t +37493 419763 (mob) i 63174784 e [EMAIL PROTECTED]
