It probably wouldn't be too hard to port Phil Karn's KA9Q stuff over. I've
been considering this for ST-Minix, but it looks like I'll have a shot at
BSD style sockets first. (Shouldn't be too much difference between Unix
Domain sockets and pipes, eh?) Some of the socket stuff will require the
ability to check for a message without actually getting blocked waiting for
it. (E.g., for select()...)
