TCPObject::onConnectionRequest(const NetAddress* addr, U32 connectId)
$listenPort = 1234;

// This is the server listener
new TCPObject(ServerListener);
ServerListener.listen($listenPort);

// Initialize an "array" to hold our clients
$clients = new ScriptGroup(TCPClients);

// A request to connect will trip this method
function ServerListener::onConnectRequest(%this, %addr, %id)
{
   // Use the id we receive to spawn a new socket for this client
   // The first argument is the object name (see below...)
   %client = new TCPObject(tcpSocket, %id);
   
   // Add the client to some sort of list so we can track them (just handy to do...)
   TCPClients.add(%client);
}

// Notice that we're using the object name we
// set in the listeners onConnectRequest method
function tcpSocket::onConnected(%this) {
   // A client connected (%this is %client [the socket] from onConnectRequest)
   echo("** [" @ %this @ "] Connected");
}

function tcpSocket::onDisconnect(%this) {
   // A client disconnected (%this is %client from onConnectRequest)
   echo("** [" @ %this @ "] Disconnect");
}

function tcpSocket::onLine(%this, %cmd)
{
   // A line has arrived from the client, parse it
   // again, %this is %client from onConnectRequest
