Yeah, what I'm going for is to be able to use the tunnel so another local application can use this channel. So, I'm guessing then that what I should do is create the connection with _direct_tcpip... and then I create a socket on the same machine with the local port I want their local application to connect to. I then listen on that port. When that port receives data...I write that to the channel? Likewise when that channel recieves data, i write it to the local socket?
