I've been running Roell's server with TCPCONN for about 2-3 months now and
it's working great!  The main problem I had was that Roell's select() didn't
work with TCP/IP, so I used the TCP/IP select() emulation instead.  It took a
while to find that out, since Roell's select() code is totally correct, as
I judge the source.  The fact remains, though, when I ifdef'd it out, the
server started to work!  There might've been more to it than this, but the
source is on tape for the moment, so I can't check it out for the moment.

						Hope this helps
