Isn't this quite limiting? What comes into mind first is that binding a
server socket to a specific interface is not possible then.
Also, as I discussed privately with Helmut, it should be possible to specify
either 0 or nil (not sure) for the PORT to be able to assign a
arbitrary free port (dynamic server socket for e.g. DCC).
I didn't look very closely at both approaches yet, but it seems to me
from first impression that merging non-blocking connects and server sockets
into one single function is quite messy.
