Socket I/O is exactly our problem. We use a timer to continuously
(actually frequently rather than continuously) read from a socket to
implement a listening socket. But there are many problems with that,
like IDL not reacting while it tries to read (looks like crashed).

I guess IDL is just made for data analysis and not instrument control
which involves interaction with device drivers and the OS on a deeper
level :-(.
