Sorry for the very long response time.  I just got my new computer back up, 
though.

Have you read the beginners guide yet?

There is a ServerConnectionListener class which listens on a port for 
ClientConnections to connect.  Then when this happens a ServerConnection is 
created, and the first time you see it is in your onNewConn handler.

OurConnectionListener is derived from ServerConnectionListener, so it is 
just a class representing the socket listen() is called on, and when 
something comes in, it accept()s and the newly spawned socket becomes the 
ServerConnection which is subclasses in the examples as OurServer.

exhello and exsynchello are examples that show the minimum code to set up a 
fully-functional framework and initiate a connection.  There is a bit of 
overhead, but once you get that framework in, it should be very easy to 
expand onto that.
