It might interest you that MIT Scheme 7.1 supports unix stream sockets, which might help you in your interprocess communications. It also suppports asynchronous subprocesses with communication via inherited file descriptors, pipes or psuedo-terminals (pty's). See socket.scm and process.scm in the runtime directory for more information. Although there is socket and subprocess support in release 7.1, if you use it you should be aware that the interface to these facilities is not stable. The interface to subprocesses is definitely going to be different in the next release. Try to keep your use of the interface as local as possible so that it can be easily changed later.
