   This leads to easy reimplementation of the prefix channel (asynchronous)
 
 MS:
+- netcat can probably replace l2_sockmon, remove from build and add netcat
 - pipe channel may need a big overhaul if we redesign
   it around the asynch channel principle
 - review pipe handler for dangling descriptors

 - consider adding options such as PCRE_CASELESS to filter channel
 - implement "action" channel, can be based on pipe channel
 - correct problem with multiple buffer channels using the timer
+    can be solved by running a signal handler at the environment level, then
+    approximating the (multiple) user-chosen timer intervals by setting the
+    environment timer to expire at the time of the least common denominator of
+    the configured timer intervals
+      ie: tmr1 9secs; tmr2 6secs; envtmr will expire every lcd(9,6) = 3secs
+    alarm and setitimer methods are using different param types! Fixit.
+    review newly introduced timer code for L2_OK and L2_OK_PASS inconsistency
 - solve problem with buffer (timer), irc (ping), and buffer (autoflush), by
   creating sleep/ping threads. The disadvantage is that we must depend on a
   pth installation, and force the parent app to be multithreaded.
   Alternatively, we can spawn a management process in l2_stream_create(), who
   owns management resources globally available to all channels. Or write the
   l2 mini-protocol :-(
+- split all timer server code out of L2 and into new multiplexed timer object
+    probably must use callbacks, unless user signal space is occupied
