I think this would have to be a new Acceptor implementation.  It ought
to work fine, but you'd be faced with the problem that you could not
detect duplicate connections to the same session.  The threaded
approach allows static data structures to be shared across all
sessions, so the Acceptor can determine if a second client tries to
login using the same credentials as another, currently-active session.
 With this forked approach, you'd need to use some other technique
(file locking perhaps) to provide this safeguard.
