   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?
