http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/clientServer.html http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/ Listen on a given port, check what comes in, pass off to CF via HTTP.

Ah Thanks this is very helpful. As I say I think this the answer my client has gone vack to them and asked for specifics so that will help. I have a feeling it is not http so I will need something written in C for this. Probably not something we want to get involved in but it is for an existing client sigh.... Thanks again for your input.
