I've used SmallSockets (http://smallsockets.sourceforge.net/) in a
small project, with good results. It doesn't do run loop events, but
in my opinion it's better to just use threads with blocking I/O anyway.

By Jove, you're right! From BTLSocketManager:

That is just absurd. It might have been excusable ten years ago in
the classic OS, when threading and asynchrony were so difficult, but
as you point out, you pretty much have to go out of your way to be
this badly-behaved on Mac OS X.
Let us never speak of it again :-/
Anyone got a good socket framework to recommend? (I realize it's not
that hard to roll your own with NSStreams, as shown in CocoaSockets,
but a framework with a few more bells & whistles would be nice.)
