Naaaa, it's nothing to worry about. Write a simple Java socket server.
This is very interesting I can see possibilities here. Is there
anyone on the list with these skills?
I see there are some CFX TCP clients allowing your CF server to
communicate with other servers by TCP There does not appear to be
anything that does what appears possible using the techniques below.

Listen on a given port, check what comes in, pass off to CF via HTTP.
That's all speculation mind! :OD

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.
