Yup, it'll do that.

SP_poll() is what you're looking for.

quoting Tim Peters (2004-03-18) ...<br>
"""<br>
A Spread mailbox <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>is<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> a socket handle, and, e.g., can be
passed to select() like any other socket handle. There's also the
SP_poll() function, but it's not particularly good even for polling
because it doesn't return an error code if the client has gotten
disconnected (it returns 0 then, so a "polling loop" just using
SP_poll() will never know it if the client gets disconnected).<br>
