AFAIK there's a gii (or was it ggi?) function that is only available
on unix systems to poll gii events and perform select on a FDSET
altogether. I think I've used it with network sockets. I don't remember
quite well and I don't have my code right here.
Anyway it must be found somewhere in manpages.
