Lines: 13 With regards to sending DOS packets from interrupt code, this shouldn't really be a problem as long as the packets are being sent directly to the handler. All handlers have to be prepared to receive packets in any order from many clients (this is a multi-tasking machine, isn't it?). The only problems I see with sending a CLOSE packet asynchronously is to make sure that the associated filehandle isn't closed again. Of course, this assumes that the user is allowed to close the filehandle at all -- not a nice thing to do with stdin. Bill
