Indy Examples sending messages between server and client

Subject:Indy Examples sending messages between server and client

Are there any Indy examples using simple messages between a a server pc
and many client pcs.  The server will be using an Indy tcp server
component and the clients will use either a tcp server or a non server
component. These components will either send simple text or record
structures.  Initially I can focus on simple text.

The server needs to be able to send a message to the client at any time.
  The message will just be a flag that will signal the client that a
message needs to be picked up from the server.  Once this signal has
been received, the client will send a request to the server for any
waiting messages.  This makes me think that the client PC needs to have
an Indy server component or perhaps a client component with a timer to
look for the flag that there is a message.

If there are any examples that make use of Indy in this type of process
I would certainly appreciate a link or any insight as to the best
approach to take in this endeavor.
