Hello
When I try the command
> maxima --server 9734
I get the following error messages and it enters the Lisp debugger.
> WARNING: *FOREIGN-ENCODING*: reset to ASCII
> jfa: starting server on port 9734
> Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
>

I am trying this on a linux computer (SuSE 9.3), Maxima 5.9.2.
On a different WindowsXP computer, same Maxima version, I get a similar error.
Can anyone tell me how to start maxima in server mode? I only need to access
the Maxima server on localhost.
The message "Connection refused" sounds like a firewall problem. But
> yacas --server 9734
does work. The warning about UTF-8 encoding is not related.
I want to test if it is possible to use Maxima from Mavscript. (This would
allow to use Maxima commands in OpenOffice text documents).
Thanks
