The "-s" options connects Maxima as a client to a server already
running on the specified port; it doesn't make Maxima a server.

You could try using the Java code which was posted a few days
ago by Volker van Nek. The Java program opens a server socket
and listens for connections, and sends client input to Maxima,
and sends output back to the client.
