Thanks Jesper.  How exactly do I check the Kernel’s buffer?

Thanks,
Lee

When I connect 5 clients to the server with an echo peer, and send about 1000 packets from each with 1500 bytes per packet, only 50% of the packets even get registered in the message stack.  I’ve conferred with other Erlang devs and have heard their similar servers can support around 1000 such clients.  Why, then, do I get this issue?  :-(
