I did mean connection.  sorry about that.

Ok, except as long as its been since I've done anything in LPC, its 
been twice as long as that since I've done anything with a command line

Thats a wrinkle I hadn't thought of.  I wrote a little HTTP deamon 
under MudOS and a TMI-2 mudlib around 95 that formated the in-game help 
files and presented them as html pages.  I don't remember how I solved 
this problem then.  I might have just listened on 8080.

Thats a good message.  Thanks.
