Hi,

I'm trying to understand why ToSocket is an agnostic type. It seems to me 
that it should behave pretty much like ToDevice.u One big difference is 
that (from my understanding from the source) ToSocket will keep pulling 
packets from the input, no matter whether the socket is available to send 
stuff or not. I found this could block click in sendto(). And because it 
will pull all packets from the input, Queueing won't help.

Another question: Did anyone try the UNIX socket before? I had to hack the 
sendto call to send because my Linux complained that the socket is 
connected and won't do the job.

BTW, First week in click, I have to say cool stuff and fun!
