   Hey guys,    
      
   I was tinkering around a little with Door programming in Java and am having a   
   little trouble grasping the whole Door concept. I know the Door32.sys file   
   contains a Comm Type (0=local, 1=serial, 2=telnet) and a socket handle. If   
   I'm a telnet user connected to a BBS I should have a Comm Type of 2 and a   
   socket handle greater than zero (I think). So in Java, somehow I think I need   
   to connect to that socket handle in an input and output stream to be able to   
   read and write data to that socket.     
      
   So, I spent some time playing around with the java.net ServerSocket API but   
   haven't realy figured out how to get the connection. Are there any gurus out   
   there who can give me some examples on how to receive a handle from the BBS   
   and communicate with the Telnet user?
