Very clear now!!:) But let me recap:
- with non-blocking the server socket can receive simultaneously from many 
clients, when one client dedicated buffer is full or when a certain time has 
elapsed the OnClientRead is triggered, but as we have only one thread, only 
one instance of this handler can run in the same time, so the other 
clientsockets have to wait that we finish to process the data ALREADY stored 
in the Socket buffer (that we can get through ReceiveText for example) and 
exit the OnClientRead event handler
- with thread-Blocking multiple instances of the same OnClientRead event 
handler can run at the same time, because of multiple threads, but inside 
them we have to BLOCK the execution WHILE receiving the data

Which advice do You refer to?

Really the threaded version of TClientSocket does not interest me much :) 
... As U say only in the server we have multiple "clients" at the same time!
And if remember well I read somewhere in a previous Newsgroup thread that 
the server has no idea of how the clients works ... so I should be able to 
have a non-blocking Client and a ThreadBlocking server Do I mistake?
The problem is that with the simple test I'm posting in this thread right 
now the Threadblocking server does nothing with my simple non-blocking 
client...Please have a look to it if U have a little time :)

Advising what to use is difficult as it depends

You hit the point Mr. Galema ... ThankYou very much!
