Subject: Flash socket server - can I make it any shorter??

Here's what I have - 91 characters with everything you'd need for a Flash
XMLSocket 'echo' server::

Not pretty version -
    require
"socket";s=TCPServer.open("10.0.0.2",4444).accept;loop{;s.gets("\0");s.write
($_);};

Pretty version -
    require "socket"
        s=TCPServer.open("10.0.0.2",4444).accept
        loop{
            s.gets("\0")
            s.write($_)
        }


Looking at it now - maybe I could::

    require "socket"
        s=TCPServer.open("10.0.0.2",4444).accept
        loop{
            s.gets("\0").write($_)
        }


Then I thought I remembered reading somewhere about something like -
    TCPServer.open(0)

Where that code would listen on 'all devices'... if I'm making any sense...
But then how could I specify the port??

Thanks for any help I can get! : )

P.s. - Since I came from a Perl-ish background.. the 'short' perl version
was 300 characters....
