You might be suprised - but I 100% agree with you :) Actually - I am only interested to code a *minimal* demultiplexor library.
Unfortunately, it is probably not possible to give that library a portable interface without also dragging different types of 'devices' into it: a socket isn't a fifo (or else there are too many differences).
Why not just resume work on the Boost::Socket library? I can't remember the link offhand, but IIRC the design was pretty solid and had hooks for multiplexing as well as a nearly complete blocking i/o implementation. Sean
