I wrote a little bf that returned the network_connections output_length, 
then looped, suspending, until it reaches 0.

That and several other little patches here and there I'll be making 
available shortly, once I'm sure it stable.  The patch set will include 
mpl-1.4, fup-1.7, chr/asc, most with modifications and additions such as 
the above little addition.  The patch files will be for 1.7.9p2.  If 
you're interesting, let me know via email.
