Is there a way to hook into the asynchronous machinery of Zope/Zserver
from within an external method. I have to process credit cards over a
modem, which takes approximately 10 seconds per transaction, during
which, whatever thread is executing the external method is blocked,
waiting for a response from the credit card server. I suppose that this
means that as soon as I have 7 credit cards being processed
simultaneously, my Zope is going to stop responding. If I had a way to
hook into the asynch machinery of zope, that thread could happily be
servicing other requests while it waits. Is this possible?
