Socket

Silvio,
After including Cthreads it now gives an exception immediately after pressing run button.
I also tried you demo files and components, but they do not compile without errors. Perhaps it is my Lazarus version fault. I'm running IDE v1.0.8 and FPC 2.6.2
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Cesar

Silvio,
I corrected the cthread uses clause. Now it is on the LPR file and everything compiles well.
The point is that when the program runs it should be listening to port 23 (telnet), enabling me to telnet to that port, but when I use telnet client and try to connect it comes with "connection refused" message.
I certified that there's no telnet daemon running on my server, just my application.
I'm using a MAC OS Lion machine.
Thanks,
Cesar

check your firewall, I have no experience with MACOS and the only thing I know is that is based roughly on the same design as the linux kernel so I assume that it has something along the line of the iptables so check that the port is not blocked.

Port 1024 or lower are only accessible for root. Run your project as root.

Ehm OSX is Unix, so yes there is a resemblance. OSX uses a modified Mach kernel and BSD userland tools, so it feels like a regular commercial Unix (to me) - no standard bash though it is available.
They also added their own command line tools (and obviously) GUI/applications.

Not only could the firewall be the problem, on *nix you need to be root to listen on ports < 1024, so you may need to enable some privileges for your program (however that's arranged for OSX)
