[Ecls-list] Anybody uses smm_wsock?

[Karsten Poeck]

I use simply
(sb-bsd-sockets:socket-make-stream   
   socket
   :element-type :default ...)
in the socket creation and they seem to work fine bivalent (as they do 
in sbcl).

I think just in cmu and clisp you have to switch the element type 
dynamically.
