//===============================================================
// The interface to interact with clients
// current implementation is to get one client input from stdin
// --------------------------
// Should change to create server socket to accept client connections
// and then poll client ports to get their inputs.
// -- Best is to use the select function to get client inputs
// Also, during execution, the terminal output (term.c) should be
// sent back to the client and client prints on its terminal.
