What am I missing? quoting from http://www.nightmare.com/medusa/ A major design problem with select(2) is that an fd_set is usually of a fixed maximum size, on many operating systems the kernel needs to rebuilt to raise this limit; even on those that have dynamically adjustable limits, you still need to re- compile your application (because FD_SETSIZE is a macro). </F>
