Nothing yet.. As I said the script I've created still requires some
debugging.  Covering the code end is simple as it's running regex on all
incoming text and only using what it understands, which are xml formatted
instructions, such as <message /> <login /> and <logout />.  On the hardware
end, I haven't gotten that far yet.

So basically, any code can get in, but only the correct code is used.

Mark:
Pardon my limited understanding, but doesn't socket use open the door to
potential security risks?  What kind of stuff did you put in place to make
sure that only the code you want gains access on that socket? -Chris
