a callback function would require a new thread that does the 
reqList->receive() call. You could implement such a thread wthin your 
application.

If you change the following line in RequestList::receive() it is 
possible to call reqList->receive(0) as often as you can, without 
running at 100% CPU time:
		tvptr->tv_usec = 1000;
