silly question maybe, but why 'c' and not

      g_io_channel_set_encoding (server, NULL, NULL); 
      g_io_channel_set_buffered (server, FALSE); 

the _set_encoding(server,NULL,NULL) is what should do the trick. It should 
also be called right after you created the GIOChannel (more or less).



Btw, in case you haven't yet, you might also want to have a look at the GNet 
library's GServer and GConn interfaces, which might just do exactly what you 
want without all the GIOChannel hassle:

  http://www.gnetlibrary.org/docs/gnet-server.html
  http://www.gnetlibrary.org/docs/gnet-conn.html

A similar library is the fairly new libgnetwork, which seems to require 
glib-2.3.x or newer though:
