Sure, but it is an ugly hack.  Basically, you :

    /* Open /dev/null to find out what the next available file desc is */
    fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
    if (fd == -1)
        adios("Can't open /dev/null ?!?!?");

    /* Close down file desc so it will be assigned in TNetListen */
    close(fd);

    /* Perform TNetListen.  Socket allocated will be given the same file
       desc just closed down */
    if (TNetListen(ta, td) == NOTOK)
        adios("Can't listen on OSI address");

    /* fd contains the file descriptor of the socket opened for OSI listen. */

As I said, it is ugly, but it does work.

No problem.

BTW, what are you trying to do with ISODE?
