Yep.

I only think that if it does not work, it's more likely that a patch for 
the LCL is necessary than for lnet. In fact CallAsyncQueue and 
PostMessage did not work with the KDE WidgetType (but did work in 
Windows) until some years ago I filed a bug report and someone kindly 
did a patch. (That is why I offered m<y testing program to check the CE 
Widget Set.)

Yep.

Some years ago, with Delphi I used to use AsyncPro (that can do Sockets 
and ComPorts and provides a common high-Level encapsulation (providing 
said main thread events) for both.

Is there an lnet variant for ComPorts as well ? Here and in other forums 
I often see the same questions we just discussed also regarding ComPorts.

Obviously the eventing mechanism can be implemented identically for any 
type of Byte-stream.
