zaurus, thanks for that example. I was definitely confused as to the reading and writing on the same socket as listening. I am new to socket programming, so I made the assumption that the socket that sees the initial connection had to be used to transfer information.

I still wonder, how does Accept() work together with ServerSocket()?

On my initial analysis through the source code,
Calling ServerSocket() on a socket doesn't seem to implicitly call Accept() for that socket, although both ServerSocket() and Accept() call Attach(data) on the socket.
Further, ServerSocket() calls OpenServer(), which calls lower level calls bind() and listen() on the socket. Accept() calls lower level accept() on the socket.

Would you mind showing the full example of the main loop you provided?
