Long question, short answer: no. BeOS is an odd duck, similar
to Mac OS -- nobody has the developer tools, and it keeps changing
out from under you anyway, so as soon as you have something working
it breaks, and meanwhile, vital pieces remain missing, like select()
and other functions needed to implement TCP/IP connections. I haven't
yet found anybody who disagrees with that assessment enough to
prove me wrong.
