Does whatever it is that answers seem to speak HTTP?

Assuming you're talking Tomcat3.x (sorry, not been following
the thread that closely), try telnetting to 8080 again, and
once connected, typing:

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

.. and then hitting enter twice. You should get a list of
headers back, including a Server: header which should mention
tomcat. If that happens, it's definately listening. if it
doesn't, something else has the port - either a firewall, or
another process (a cache?) on the server.
