Hi Dom -

This is the type of thing that ASIO does well. What type of problems are 
you having with the library?

Understanding the proactor model is critical to understanding ASIO. The 
"overview" portion of the docs in ASIO will give you a good grasp of how 
to approach problems with a proactor. You may also find my BoostCon'10 
talk of ASIO beneficial:
