So in an event-driven server, how do you ...

It looks like you guys hate polling.  (Not that I blame you, I don't 
really like it myself. :)  But if you've got a system that just sits 
until the next "ripening", how do you do your IO with players?  Do you 
use an endless loop to poll the connections?  Or do you use the SIGIO 
signal?  

I tried to use both.  I poll for new commands from the players, and use 
the SIGIO signal to hook up a new connection.  More than a little bit 
dirty.  It doesn't work under BSD, then I have to poll for everything.
