Communicating with an external system

Question: I want to send data from my SAP server using socket technology to an outside NT server, then recieve a response. How can I go about this? I am looking for a starting point to research this topic. Thanks.

Answer:
Exactly what socket technology are you planning on using? I believe SAP Remote Function Calls (RFC) uses socket technology, and also TCPIP comms can be added via SAP Business Connector or XI

Answer:
Thanks for your response.

I quickly browsed XI and sap business connector. It seems as if those use XML or HTML to cmmunicate. Our data is just a text string. We want SAP to send a string of data out, through a socket, and it to be recieved by an NT server on a specific port.
