There are several problems here.  For starters, your server class isn't
really a server, since it doesn't derive from asyncore.dispatcher, and
doesn't bind to a port, so connections never come in.  (And you wanted
to override handle_accept, not handle_connect.)  Try something like this
for your server:

	class Server(asyncore.dispatcher):
	    def __init__(self, port, isQuiet=False):
	        asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)
	        self.create_socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
	        self.set_reuse_addr()
	        self.addr = '', port
	        self.bind(self.addr)
	        self.listen(5)
	
	    def handle_accept(self):
	        Connection(self, self.accept())

where Connection is a class that derives from asynchat.async_chat.

I'm sure a dozen people will tell you to use Twisted, now.
