Hmm, there is not that many things you needed to manage sockets. Setting or

Does this really implement protocols, e.g. DLMS, ModBus etc? I didn't read
the documentation, but it looks rather like some text messaging or
middleware stuff on top of some transport like TCP, than a protocol
implementation generator tool (if that were possible).

If Ada provided higher level socket library with an integrated support of
protected objects and tasks...
