    I am a BBS/door guru, but have very little experience with Java. In general, I think Java has not had a lot of traction as a platform for writing BBS doors. If you can find a way to construct a socket object
    and specify the underlying descriptor/handle that should be used (rather than opening a new socket), then that should get you started. I'm not
    sure "ServerSocket" is the right thing as that *sounds* like a listening socket which is not really what you want. The socket is already
    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?
