Client/Server question... (already have applets/applications up and running)

I have some pretty neat client-server applets/applications running  
now but I have one question for anyone who might possibly know the  
answer.

I can instanciate a NetworkClient and have it talk to a NetworkServer  
instance.  However the server can't talk back to the client at all...  
at least I can't figure out how to do it.  I've tried writing through  
the serverOutput instance directly and flushing the buffer to no  
avail.

Receiving data from a client by way of the -serviceRequest() method  
is no problem in NetworkServer, I just ask for the data from the  
client and display.  However setting up two-way communication between  
the two programs currently requires a pair of clients and servers to  
be instantiated, with each program having a client and a server!!   
Hmm... this doesn't make sense.

It's good enough for my demo but it doesn't make sense.

Tiny sources for simple Client/Server are as usual available at  
ftp://ftp.cs.sonoma.edu/pub/Java/apps
