Yep, sorry about that.
I was more focused on the ServerFactory and Protocol.
The pcap in a thread comes from the link I mentioned in my first post: http://dound.com/2009/09/integrating-twisted-with-a-pcap-based-python-packet-sniffer/
But I know, it's better to put everything in one post. People shouldn't have to click links.

There is a specific deferred by line.
I re-arm it in the messageToSend method (that wasn't in the sample either).
In the Oldimon class, I have:

    def messageToSend(self, message):
        self.sendMessage(message)
        # Re-arm the deferred
        self.factory.deferred[self.line] = defer.Deferred()
        self.factory.deferred[self.line].addCallback(self.messageToSend)
