It is not supposed to. Indy is not an event driven library.
I would not recommend using a timer, though. You should use a reading
thread instead. Have a look at the source code for the TIdTelnet component

You need to provide a locking mechanism around the array, such as by using a
critical section or a mutex, in order to access the array in a thread-safe
manner.
