I'm not an expert, never used TCP/IP below the socket abstraction level, but I imagine that after accept, the client side of the connection is someow 'rewired' with the new socket created on the server side. Anyhow, this is not python-related, since the socket C library behaves exactly in the same way. Ciao ----- FB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
