Hi Don,

on what part of the network library are you working? It seems like you are 
in level 1 without I/O streams - whatever this part could be called. :) If I 
look at the extremes - wrapper classes for the C API and an 
acceptor-connector pattern with service handlers like in ACE - where is your 
library? You are somewhere in between if I am right: I don't see any socket 
class but see classes reminding me of network functions. Do you think we 
need another layer? Shall we drop the acceptor-connector pattern? Is your 
library which belongs to level 1 a neighbour of an acceptor-connector based 
package with different goals?

Still trying to make a complete picture, :)
Boris
