my main problem is getting listen() working on octave 3.0:
on octave-forge documentation
(http://octave.sourceforge.net/doc/f/listen.html) i can see:
listen(port,host,host,...)
   Listen for connections on the given port. [...]

while inside octave i get:

octave:2> help listen
listen(octave_socket,int)
See the listen() man
pages/home/francesco/octave/sockets-1.0.3/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v32/sockets.oct

and i wasn't able to see the listen() man pages....
