Finally, you wanted information about telnet and port in a
Windows XP. My internet wanderings suggest that it is but with
specifics to ports, security and firewalls.

In the interim, I stumbled across a machine running Vista, and I
thought I'd give it a try. Enabling telnet turned out to be an
obscure, tedious administrative task. Moreover, it proved easier to
com[m]andeer an open port that to finesse the firewall.

When I finally got the programs to run with frames, I placed them
in jars. And now each can be used as a click on it to demonstrate
EchoServer and EchoClient.

Capital idea! You probably finished before me. :-)

Hi John,
The following is my effort to revise your code to
my EchoServer. I do not understand how to write a
thread in a similar manner that you did. Yet I did
use some of lines that you have written.
It is necessary in this situation to have the
EchoServer to be running when the EchoClient
is started.
Thanks again for your efforts.

It looks like your EchoClient is blocking the EDT in actionPerformed().
As client and server are largely symmetric, here's an example that does
both:

<code>
package net;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.*;

/**

public class Echo implements ActionListener, Runnable {

    private static final String HOST = "127.0.0.1";
    private static final int PORT = 12345;
    private final JTextField tf = new JTextField(25);
    private final JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(15, 25);
    private final JButton send = new JButton("Send");
    private volatile PrintWriter out;
    private Scanner in;
    private Thread client;
    private Kind kind;

    public static enum Kind {
        Client(100, "Trying"), Server(500, "Awaiting");
        private int offset;
        private String activity;
        private Kind(int offset, String activity) {
            this.offset = offset;
            this.activity = activity;
        }
    }

    public Echo(Kind kind) {
        this.kind = kind;
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Echo " + kind);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(send);
        f.add(tf, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        f.add(new JScrollPane(ta), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        f.add(send, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        f.setLocation(kind.offset, 300);
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
        send.addActionListener(this);
        ta.setLineWrap(true);
        ta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
        display(kind.activity + HOST + " on port " + PORT);
        client = new Thread(this, "Client");
    }

    public void start() {
        client.start();
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
        String s = tf.getText();
        if (out != null) {
            out.println(s);
        }
        display(s);
        tf.setText("");
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            Socket socket;
            if (kind == Kind.Client) {
                socket = new Socket(HOST, PORT);
            } else {
                ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(PORT=

);

                socket = ss.accept();
            }
            in = new Scanner(socket.getInputStream());
            out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),=

true);

            display("Connected");
            while (true) {
                display(in.nextLine());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            display(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private void display(String s) {
        ta.append(s + "\u23CE\n");
        ta.setCaretPosition(ta.getDocument().getLength());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new Echo(Kind.Server).start();
                new Echo(Kind.Client).start();
            }
        });
    }}

Hi John,
I read this "info/discussion" at:
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/
readingWriting.html>
However, I have difficulty aligning your gift
as the "info/discussion" suggests. Your Echo will also
switch roles: what the server does and what the client
does, in spite of the difference of headers :JFrame("Echo " + kind);
In practice this would not be so, would it? Normally the
server is not pressing a button "send" anything and
not getting a response to what it sent. But I am
not a guru on that topic by any means.
I think that I have moved this discussion too
far off original target.
Thanks for your efforts.
