It is actually listening for event announcements from a custom telnet
gateway Java component. The gateway interacts with the OS and calls
the appropriate CFC when it needs to. So actually, the gateway
listens for telnet connections and passes the requests into CF which
then processes them and sends any results(if any) back to the gateway.
This is not currently possible with CFMX 6.1. It basically removes
the requirement of a web server to use ColdFusion.
