Good. Actually, what I want is a portable UDP server, which can be  
used for this goal:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/782101b610d14e71

If you can make wait=for-input better, that's definitely helpful for  
everyone.

Now I already have my UDP patch[1] to work on SBCL, CMUCL, Clozure CL  
and LispWorks. Base on this, I'm trying to use GBBopen's  
Portable_Threads package to implement a portable UDP server, I think  
to finish it I need less than one week.

I hope all these work can be merged into USOCKET in the future, if you  
have time to review them:)
