client server interaction? anyone know
hi there, i need help 
im trying to produce a program that would do the following, but i dont know were to begin, any help/guide lines, please im need help asap,
One program is the main program, which fork/execs one referee process and
three x,y,z processes repectvley. It then waits until all four processes terminate. It should check that the command-line parameter that specifies the number of turns is legal and pass it to the referee process as a parameter of exec().
The parent program is the server which listens for choices from the x,y,z
program on a socket. The protocol used is as follow: when a process (x,y,z) is ready to make a choice it sends the string “READY” to the server. When all of them are ready, the server sends the processs a string “GO AHEAD” at roughly the same time. The responses from the players are read and their scores are calculated an updated(The choices and result of each game is displayed on the console). If correct response is not received from a player within two seconds, the server will resend the “READY” string to that process. If a correct response is again not received within 2 seconds after the second reminder, the other processes will be awarded the winning point for that game. This process should be repeated until the number of turns has been reached. After the final turn, the server send the “STOP” message to terminate the process and Display the final score.
thanks for ur help in advance

faxstate
FAXSTATE(8) System Manager's Manual FAXSTATE(8) NAME
faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem DESCRIPTION
faxstate sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use. This is useful for controlling outbound use of a modem; by marking a modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem. The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''. If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq process marking the specified modem down, busy, or ready. This interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used. Note that modems manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -n Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty. -q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax. -s Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'', and ``ready''. The default state to use is ready. FILES
Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area. SEE ALSO
