Why not just use client.socket?

The value of client.socket.remote_ip_address is already available to you.

Apart from maybe reading this value, I have very rarely ever needed to interact directly with the client
socket in the context of a JS "door".  IO with the client should really go through the existing
console/bbs methods unless there's a really good reason to bypass them.

I suspect this isn't a path you need to go down.

 Mo> Is this possible?

I think you can do:

  var s = new Socket(true, client.socket.descriptor);

As you can guess, I doubt if this is necessary in your case.
