If you're willing to work in C++ or Java,  there are really easy base-classes 
you can use or extend to create a simple TCP server.  In Qt 4 (C++),  use the 
QTcpSocket class:

In Qt 3 (more likely to be installed already on a Linux distribution),  use 
QSocket:

In Java,  use java.net.ServerSocket:
