   Questions about sockets

   Howde all!   
      
   So I am working on a CNet BBS clone written in Python, and I have a question   
   about sockets..   
      
   *I know from some of the online tutorials that I have watched, that you can   
   allow a number of connections. But in the instance of a BBS with say 5 nodes,   
   so 5 telnet connections, which connection is for which node? Os there a way   
   to specify that connection 1 is for node 1, and so on?    
      
   *Zmodem file transfers. With some of the test code I wrote, I was using a   
   telnet server that someone else wrote, and it is in C++ i believe, so I can't   
   follow it to well. But it allowed me to transfer files with ZModem just like   
   any other BBS. How would I accommodate a file transfer like that? Would a   
   basic socket connection be able to just work? Or would I have to do something   
   else to make it usable?    
      
   I am aware I may not have expressed myself clearly, as I'm still new to the   
   whole thing with Python. But to me it seems very easy to pick up and learn.   
   Just understanding is the main problem I have.. LOL   
      
   Thanks!
