RE:

True, he's only allowing one connection at a time...   I guess it was your
statement that said: "You have to close the SD between connection
attempts" that I was replying to.

In his code, it was actually "SD2" that he had to close, not "SD".

But, since he never jumped back up to the "accept()" call, anyway, I 
assumed that this was just a piece of code that he didn't post.
