accept and open socket cause routines to execute, and have callbacks.

Is there a way either end to be triggered when receiving a message other
than by polling/reading to see if anything is there?

Both 'read' and 'write' have 'with message' forms so that a callback gets invoked when the action you asked for completes.

In particular:

  read from socket tSocket until empty with message "giveMeData"

Will cause "giveMeData" to be sent as soon as any data arrives on the socket.
