Dear Maxima experts,

I'd like to operate Maxima out of a self-programmed software by using a TCP connection. I use Windows 2000/XP. According to the source code of wxMaxima, it should be possible to start maxima in something like a "server mode" in which it allows connecting to it through a tcp connection. But I still haven't succeeded in starting Maxima this way. What are the correct command line parameters for maxima.exe to make Maxima accept tcp connections on port xy (e.g. 4010)? I already tried
  maxima -eval "(maxima::start-server 4040)" -eval "(run)" -f
  [=> error message: Error in SYSTEM::SET-UP-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: Could not connect]
and
  maxima -s 4010
  [=> Maxima just quits, nothing happens]
but both command lines don't work. How to make Maxima become operatable using a TCP connection?

Thanks a lot!

Bye,
Sebastian
