That's right, though the socket BIO methods also abstract away quite a few obscure platform specifics. > I have eliminated all of my BIO usage.

No. However, SSL_set_fd() automatically creates a socket BIO, so you don't save an abstraction layer by setting up the socket manually. > What about the select? Is there some sort of BIO_select()? There's no such thing, but you could retrieve the underlying socket descriptor with BIO_get_fd() and call select() on that.
