As the socket descriptor itself is an integer, writing down the actual
descriptor to a file, and not closing the socket, and writing down the
inet_addr, and maybe enough to know which character to reload, would
enable win95 to a hot reboot, but I really have never tried this, because
I have no reason to. However, it's something new and cool, and ify, so if
anyone has any time and a win95 box(just say it's your friend's :P) then I
would be interested in the results, as I am sure are other people in the
list.
