thanks to something in Joe's email, I got this to work sort of.

I changed the above to :

get_line(Socket) ->
    receive
        {tcp, Socket, Bin} ->
            io:format("Received Line:~p~n", [Bin]),
            get_line(Socket);
        {tcp_closed, Socket} ->
            io:format("Connection Closed!~n")
    end.

and I started getting output.

question now is how do I get that binary to a list that I can manipulate?
