Bring it on! :) I must confess I'm somewhat of a Quake/Half-life
deathmatch player. I don't like booting to Windows, but when I do, it's
to play some deathmatch... :) But i'm not much on trench...<moment of

Cool. I'll check it out...

Actually, I'm developing multi-threaded NT service for a project at
school and I'm just using the standard Winsock calls (No WSA_ crap,
either). As of Winsock 2.0, all standard BSD socket calls can be safely
multi-threaded (which is mucho simpler than using their async stuff).
It works really well and is (with the exception of the WSAStartup
calls) portable. Let me know if you need more specifics...
