TCP/ip questions reguarding accept()

[The Dark Tide]

 I have program that is a multi-user game(lpmud) and accept() hangs the
 program after the first socket is accepted and it tries to get another
 and there isn't one there.
 
  Is there a way to test to see if someone is trying to connect so that
 accept doesn't hang me up?
 
  Also, is there a crypt type function I can get??
 
  oops. forgot, thisis Xenix 386 I'm running.
