PS. using a server socket is exactly like using a client NSStream with the 
exception of two method calls:
1. to create the listening stream/socket
2. to accept an incoming connection (when the listening socket is readable), 
creating new in/out streams
This is a direct reflection of the way standard unix/bsd sockets worK, so if 
you know unix socket programming (or cocoa streams programming) it should be 
really easy.
