Lars Immisch lars at ibp.deHello, I just wanted to ask whether there is a BS11 that I could have a look at/play with in Berlin? Does the Club have one or the c-base? Whom could I kindly ask for a short introduction? I have experience with Telekom standards/E1/ISDN. >> I just tried to come up with a patch to prefix the timer functions with bsc_ >> and started to think about public API.

I might be off base here, and I haven't looked at the code beyond getting it to compile on OS X, but: Telekom applications always need timers and interfaces to other systems, and a reactor-style event loop with timers is nearly always the way to go. You've already got a select loop and timers - why not package it in a separate lib? Or offer integration with libevent? (http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/) - Lars
