// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Bind to a port and listen for incoming connections:
// This example will listen at port 5555 and allows for a backlog
// of 25 pending connection requests.
llSuccess = loListenSocket.BindAndListen(5555,25)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then

// Wait a maximum of 20 seconds (20000 millisec)
