Failing that, is there an alternative implementation of the classic Linux select()/read() functionality using boost classes? I had a look at the async I/O library and it seems a bit convoluted.

Hi Dom - This is the type of thing that ASIO does well. What type of problems are you having with the library? Understanding the proactor model is critical to understanding ASIO. The "overview" portion of the docs in ASIO will give you a good grasp of how to approach problems with a proactor. You may also find my BoostCon'10 talk of ASIO beneficial: video: http://boostcon.blip.tv/file/4171562/ slides: http://www.objectmodelingdesigns.com/boostcon10/ HTH - michael -- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
