Instead of polling regularly for available input, you register a handler for your file descriptor, and CMUCL will call it when the descriptor can be used for input (or for output, depending on the options used). This facility is documented in the SERVE-EVENT chapter of the CMUCL User's Manual. <URL:http://cvs2.cons.org/ftp-area/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/serve-event.html> Here is a simple program that uses SERVE-EVENT to forward multiple TCP connections, without using multiprocessing: <URL:http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/tcp-forwarder.lisp> -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>
