Hi,
Any ideas of how I can keep a socket live in a forever loop and pass the incoming data to another socket?
thanks in advance.........

The UnixS class opens a socket to a unix machine
public class Server extends Thread
     UnixS   unix;
     Socket     clnt  = null;
     int     totin = 0;
public Server(Socket soc) 
     clnt = soc;
public void run()
     OutputStream out = null;
     InputStream  in  = null;
     int  i   = 0;
     byte b[] = new byte[120];
     try
          out  = clnt.getOutputStream();
          in   = clnt.getInputStream();
          unix = new UnixS(out);
          unix.start();
          while ((i = in.read(b)) > 0)
               unix.out.write(b,0,i);
               totin = totin + i;
     catch (IOException e){}
     serverV.remove(this);
     try
          in.close();
          out.close();
          unix.out.close();
          unix.in.close();
     catch (IOException e){}
