Using Erlang with JInterface

Background
I recently undertook a project to rewrite a voice conference server I wrote over 10 years ago. This server was written in C++ running on a Windows Server (originally NT and then win2k). The reason it was written for win2k was to use I/O Completion Ports which were not (and still are not) available on Linux.
Solaris has an equivalent AIO feature but not quite the same. I/O Completion Ports make very efficient use of multiple CPU's, and the conference server had to be very fast and handle a large number of concurrent connections.
