Last time i tried, the invocation that worked for me was described as such:


"
First you open a listening socket, for example with netcat
nc -l 8888
Then you connect maxima to the socket in the following way:

maxima -r ":lisp (setup-client 8888)"

Here you execute the function setup-client defined in server.lisp which
connects to port 8888.
"

I have just checked this works on my laptop. But using maxima -s or the like
did not work. I cannot help you on the Windows side.
