I'm not ruling Bstreams out. But, getting documentation and reference
code has been difficult. I've been sending mail to several different
people and I keep hitting against a brick wall.

So I just decided to use what I know best and that is the AT&T STREAMS
model. I'm certainly open to other comments and opinions. Could you point
me into a direction with documentation about Bstreams..

What do you mean about disconnect being sluggish..
