Blame EMBT for not providing an abstraction of asynchronous 
messaging in their 3rd FM release :(

If FM wants to become a serious cross-platform framework, 
asynchronous messaging has to be one of the core feature.

I don't have plans perhaps someone else? 
Anyway it would be a huge effort because
1) NextGen compiler (for iOS) doesn't support AnsiString.
2) NextGen compiler requires Automated-Reference-Counting that EMBT 
   did not implement backward compatible.
3) No dynamic link libraries are allowed in iOS, i. e., OpenSSL
   would have to be statically linked, so header files need be 
   to changed.
And there are likely a lot of difficulties I am not aware of.

AFAICT Apple's CFSocket API is asynchronous.
