I am not sure if this is a Solaris or an Ada question so I'll post to
both places.

I am trying to get a driver to signal my Ada program when a TCP/IP
message arrives over an ethernet on a Sun running Solaris 2.7.  It would
be great if the signal would act as a task rendezvous.  I have done this
on a VAX with VMS using Starlet, but don't have a clue if it can be done
on a Sun with Solaris.

First question: can the driver send a signal when a message arrives?

Second question:  In theory, can I receive that signal in my program?

Third question (if you feel ambitious): In general, how?

Thanx.
