Hi, I just looked into the source code, and found a new parameter -pt.
I could not find any code that actually opens a socket, so I am assuming
that maximus expects this to be an initialized file descriptor.

This weekend I'll play with it some more. I wrote a small socket server a while
back, maybe I'll use that to listen on a port, and pass the fd on to
max and see what that does.
this is fun! :)
