Hello, I have an application that I'd like to leverage some common code if at all possible (and/or necessary), using concepts of client/server, reader/writer, and so on. Probably also TCP/IP and/or Serial, although I gather Asio has a serial class ready to go out of the box? Serial is pretty much a "no brainer", can be a server, but to talk to devices in our use case, always the client, can be either reader or writer or both. The key question here is, do we need a separate io_service for serial as well as for TCP? Regards, Michael Powell

A single io_service is fine. Yes, Asio support serial out-of-the-box: <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/serial_port.html> michael -- Michael Caisse ciere consulting ciere.com
