Just a word of caution,

I discovered that the tcp client had something of a 'socket leak' when I
used it to do service pings on monitored hosts.

It would chug away nicely connecting to the various services on whatever
port and return the banner responses to the cf app, but for some reason it
did not release the sockets properly, so it just went and used them all up.
Then when that happened, it was bye-bye-baby for that application server!
;-)

Now sure - 65535 sockets may take a loooong time to use up, but when you're
going through them a the rate of a few dozen each minute, it didn't take us
too long :-}

Anyway, it may be fixed by now, or it may have been some odd way that I was
using it (even though I *did* call all the deconstructor methods!) but just
thought that if someone had warned ME about that possibility when I started
using it, that it might have saved me some diagnostic time and effort what
it packed up...

Cheers!
