I have a potential need where I would like to use the JBoss Remoting Server only. If Server is supporting both SOCKET and HTTP, how do I access it from non-remoting client or non-java client (for example plain text from telnet client). HTTP part is easy as there are many HTTP client APIs available but if the server is socket, what are the details behind that I can just call and send messages to server. For example, If I just connect to server using telnet, what are the expected handshake information so that handlers get whatever I am typing on telnet client screen. Any sample, references, ideas?  Please advise.
