Using sockets

[John Craig]

Hi, Pete.  If client A connects to server:10100 from 192.168.0.10:12345, 
then the server can send a response back to client A through 
192.168.0.10:12345.  Each client that connects to the server can be 
identified and communicated with in the same way : via the ip:port that 
they used to send the data.

read from socket with messages doesn't block


John.
