EventMachine, single-character input, and start_server?

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hi! EventMachine is really nifty. It even supports single-character
input, which is something I've realized I need... but I'm not sure it
supports it over a network connection. Or, rather, I'm thinking maybe
it doesn't.

So:
1) Can I get character-at-a-time input via EventMachine for a
network-based connection?
2) Failing that, what other recommendations might be out there? I mean,
I can code my own, but EventMachine did such a nice job abstracting so
much of the irksomeness that I'm leaning toward it, well, a lot.

Thaniks for ideas and suggestions!

Hello Ken,
From your writings this could be achieved if you read a maximum of one
character through the network connection underlying socket.
I don't thing this has to do with event machine, it is just an IO matter.
