Hi Tony,
Multi-threaded applications are not possible under UEFI. Additionally it is not possible for an application to stay in control while invoking other applications. However, telnet may be implemented as a driver with the following functions: 1. Receives characters from the network and forwards them to the console input protocol 2. Receives characters from the console output protocol and forwards them to the network Multiple connections are possible by keeping a context structure for each connection. Connections get closed when the network receive or transmit returns an error.

Is it possible to write multi-threaded applications for UEFI? I am trying to write a server app that can execute commands in efi shell and pipe the output to client. Is this possible or does this exist already? . I am more trying to create EFI app that can act in similar manner to telnet. I want to use a remote pc to execute commands in efi shell via network stack. can efi applications invoke other efi applications? are system calls possible in efi environment? Thanks Tony
