[DUG] ApdWinsockPort / Indy

HI All.
I am writing a Server app. that will be bound to 0ne IP but many ports.
I decided to use the ApdWinsockPort as I can swtich between coms or winsock
at the change of a property value, and my code for processing the incoming
data remains the same, which is a bonus.
 
BUT, I have now discovered a flaw in the code, where if you have say 2
ApdWinsockPort's both bound tot the same IP and port, it will still report
that the port is open, and not raise an error ! 
Now, I took one look at the code and went....ok...maybe I need something
else. Its pretty messy in there, and it all gets lost is pseudo referrences
to comports ..agh...ucky.
 
So, like a good Delphi developer, I thought, well, everyone uses Indy, so
should I, I guess.
 
I took a look at the Indy server demos, but really, they are quite, well,
not very clear if all you want to do is have a simple server that receives
data.
 
Could someone send me a wee sample or sample app that will do just that?
Receive data and not try to do anything with it etc?
 
Unless someone knows of a work around for the ApdWinsockPort issue.
 
 
Thanks, Jeremy
