For server work, asynchronous I/O is the alternative to multithreading
or process forking (in the rare cases where forking will suffice). 
Asynchronous I/O really just means you use a select loop and handle each
request as quickly as possible.  There are all sorts of frameworks which
make this easier, such as asyncore/Medusa, Twisted, etc.
