Definitely; a server that has N active connections might have up to N reads active at any time. Not on the same socket, of course. :-)

If I understood Michel's question correctly, then your answer would be "no". As would mine. There's the question of need (which, IMO is close to 0) plus the added complexity of explaining/managing FIFO read order; and don't forget multiple threads making simultaneous reads - just say NO. :) Best, Don __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
