Lets start off by saying RTFM for the details.

   tcpserver offers a concurrency limit to protect you from running out
   of processes and memory. When you are handling 40 (by default)
   simultaneous connections, tcpserver smoothly defers acceptance of new
   connections.
   tcpserver also provides TCP access control features, similar to
   tcp-wrappers/tcpd's hosts.allow but much faster. Its access control
   rules are compiled into a hashed format with cdb, so it can easily
   deal with thousands of different hosts.

   This package includes a recordio tool that monitors all the input and
   output of a server.

   tcpclient makes a TCP connection and runs a program of your choice. It
   sets up the same environment variables as tcpserver.

   This package includes several sample clients built on top of
   tcpclient: who@, date@, finger@, http@, tcpcat, and mconnect.

   tcpserver and tcpclient conform to UCSPI, the UNIX Client-Server
   Program Interface, using the TCP protocol. UCSPI tools are available
   for several different networks.

HTH. HAND. YMMV.
