In the past, I know that I have used read-string!/partial to read from a socket. I wrote a peer-to-peer ap where I used "(display data socket)" to send and "(read-string!/partial block socket-port)" to receive. I haven't tried it with a pipe, however. (I used it in a rather confusing program found at http://lonelycactus.com/code/schmolester , but, that code is pretty ugly to use as an example.)
