I've been running Roell's server with TCPCONN for about 2-3 months now and it's working great! The main problem I had was that Roell's select() didn't work with TCP/IP, so I used the TCP/IP select() emulation instead. It took a while to find that out, since Roell's select() code is totally correct, as I judge the source. The fact remains, though, when I ifdef'd it out, the server started to work! There might've been more to it than this, but the source is on tape for the moment, so I can't check it out for the moment.
