Writing a TCP/IP chat server

[Hasan Diwan]

Ian:
	I've used method #1 and method #2. Your first possibility is the 
most flexible, but requires the most code and the most care, while the 
second is the simpler way. I haven't heard of the asyncore module. 
Contact me at hdiwan-at-mac-dot-com if you want an example of using 
SocketServer.py.
