Hello All,
I have to control the device remotely. Multiple clients are connected to 
server, which interacts with device directly. Clients request 
information from device on demand. Device executes timely procedures and 
afterwards reports status.

Therefore server has to be able to send messages to all clients. I did 
not realize how to do it using TIdTCPServer component (how to access 
Connection from outside of the threads).

Connected question: is it legal(clever in my case) to use server threads 
only for reading from the socket and to perform writing in other thread 
(which will process requests)?

Boris
PS Thanks for previous replies!
