Very good point..the plot thickens:

If I try to send a simple "hello world" between the two machines with the
server on OS X and the client on Knoppix the "hello world" never makes
it.
However if I switch them around:
Machine A: netcat -l -p 3555
Machine B: netcat 192.168.15.1999 3555
I can send "hello worlds" back and forth as expected.
So it looks like, for whatever reason, I'll have to have the knoppix box
grab the socket and write to it with Machine B (the os x box) as the
client. Why? Dunno. Just is. I'll see how that works out.
Sounds like the OS X box isn't allowing incoming connections. Most
desktop boxen, even with relatively restrictive firewalls, don't prevent
you from making outbound connections, so I wouldn't really suspect
Knoppix as the culprit. Do you have the OS X firewall enabled?
