Net.WaitForConnection freezes the program

-----------------------------------

Net.WaitForConnection freezes the program until a connection has been established is there anyway to avoid that...?
perhaps using process and fork?

yes, you could have it running in a process in the background, and once new connection is made, call the procedure to add user to the chat and do w/e else you need.

process waiting
loop
Net.WaitForConnection
end loop
end waiting

fork waiting

loop
put "this is main loop
end loop


This will basically randomly pick the procedure from which to execute a line between the process and your main loop.

something like

process
main
process
process
main
process
main
main
process
main

Its random and still 1 line at a time, not at same time... just to let you know.
