Yes, it works.

Yes! Great thanks :-))

But I don't think that the check only for fcntl.h in configure
is enough. Actually I have this include file but it doesn't
provide the fcntl() function (ok, I don't run configure anywhy
but it's a little bit irritating).

I've written a patch which will change the configure script so
it checks additional for the fcntl() function and ioctl().
If fcntl() is not avaiable ioctl() is used if available to
switch to the non-blocking mode. If one of both is available
NONBLOCKING_SOCKETS is defined in config.h. This is used then in
server/sernet.c and common/packets.c. Is this Ok?
(also included the changes needed for the amiga version)
