Well how bout that.   You had me go in to build an example that  
wasn't using ConnectionHandler, since it isn't standard code.  So I  
ran some of the tests on the Socket class and they work.  My problem  
is that I was listening to a port lower than 1024, 443 specifically  
since we are trying to write SSL code.  I switched to a high port and  
it worked.   Fantastic.   I don't particularly know why it couldn't  
run at a lower port as I am an administrator.

cheers,
Robert
