nope... look at the accept connections command. And you want to accept connections on the port you advertise the service on.

You don't need to worry about if the command is tail or not. That's just for the external. Basically, get the ip and port from mergBonjour then open a socket and write to it when you get the callback after opening then close or read from it when you get the callback after the write. On the desktop you accept connections with message and when the message is triggered you read from the socket then close or send a response etc.
