Hey Adam & Folks,


unfortunately, my Server does some crypto stuff and thus is pretty slow.

Right now, my L4re-App (Client) is doing a IOStream::call() which i 
assume is not appropriate in L4Linux, since it's waiting long.
So, L4Linux gets blocked with Istream::receive() and IRQ::receive(), 
right?

If this is true, i don't really see a clean way of an asynchronous 
communication, is there?




Thanks,
