Mark,

I have done that before.

Basically, in Lnet, if you have more than 1 LTcp object, you must create 
your own TEventer and override its CallAction method.

Then assume your Ltcp object is myLTCP
   myLTCP.Eventer := TMyEventer.Create;



In my thread.execute
    repeat
      myLTCP.Eventer.CallAction
   until terminated;


   if you have just one ltcp then just
    repeat
      myLtcp.CallAction
   until terminated


I don't know about SerSock.  Never used it and seemed have no need for it.
