Rather than asking for someone else to write a program that meets your 
requirements, could you be more specific about what you don't understand 
pertaining to the asio library?

Asynchronous operations have adequate examples as far as I know.
Tcp/ip also has adequate examples as far as I know.
What's missing?

A heartbeat is out of the scope of the library and is a basic thing you should 
be able to gleam from any networking example on the web or come up with 
yourself.

Writing to stdin/stdout is basic c++ and doesn't have much to do with at all 
with asio.
