you can keep connections open, as many as you think is reasonable, so if two client connects you can loop thru the connected clients answering their requests in a merry go round fashion.
the only times where LiveCode will fail to answer a connection is if there is some blocking code running and at the little milliseconds interval while it is accepting the connection. so, to answer your specific "Or is LiveCode capable somehow of communicating on multiple sockets simultaneously?" it is capable of sustaining multiple connection but it will talk to only one at a time, so you need to loop talking to everybody.
