What I was referring to earlier was to have the server send the 0-length
string to the client when idle (since the client is the one sitting in a
reading loop). That way, your loop could do something like the following:
while (not Terminated) and client.connected do begin
Count := Client.ReadInteger;
if Count = 0 then Continue; // <-- here
s := Client.ReadString(Count);
...
end;

Then have the client send an actual command to the server periodically that
the server responds to.
