We accomplish this by using the erq, which allows certain LPC objects to open up ports. It's how the ftpd for your mud communicates with the mud for verifying login. Half of the erq stuff is compiled into the driver, the other half is certain LPC objects. I don't know if your mudlib has these though.
We've used it for our intermud channels (between our live mud and test installation), for sending email from within the mud for registration and one of our guys setup some web pages that called lpc objects this way. I'm not entirely familiar with how to do it, but it is possible.
