As for the implied question, "what are sockets", you might find RFC 147 and port numbers to be of some value.
Coming from a networking background (as opposed to a programming background), I'd describe a socket as the combination of both an IP address and a port number, used to uniquely identify a specific network application for remote connections. This applies to both client and server applications. Anymonk what can articulate it better/more_clearly, please expand on or correct my hipshoot description.cheers, ybiC striving toward Perl Adept (it's pronounced "why-bick") In reply to Re: Using Sockets (what are sockets)
