Uh -- in my version of IDL, at least, the help for "socket" explicitly
states that "socket" opens a client-side socket. Opening server-side
sockets is quite a different beast.

That said, there's fine bits of software out there to listen to ports
(I'd write it in TCL if I had to) but I have to wonder whether you may
be going through too many layers here -- if you are trying to do
instrument control, then what is your hardware interface? IEEE4888?
What kinds hardware do you have in your computer to facilitate the
communication? What kinds of drivers do you use? Can those drivers
truly, honestly deliver their data to ports and only to ports? Can they
truly not write, say, into a named pipe (from whence you could read it
easily from IDL)?

Just tossing out some ideas here...

cordially

Y.T.
