If you can find a way to construct a socket object        RS> and specify the underlying descriptor/handle that should be used (rather        RS> than opening a new socket), then that should get you started. I'm not        RS> sure "ServerSocket" is the right thing as that *sounds* like a listening        RS> socket which is not really what you want. The socket is already        RS> connected (no bind/listen/accept required).              You may be right the ServerSocket API may not be what I need. I had tried       to open an OutputStream usign a number of different methods but it just       locked the BBS user up completely.               Should the handle be the only thing I would need or do I need to specify a       baud rate somewhere?              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Daves BBS (1:123/180)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 114/705 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 200 275 424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/1       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 298/25 305/3 317/3 322/757 342/200       PATH: 123/180 3634/12 154/10 203/0 320/219 221/1 640/1384 712/848       PATH: 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
