Ok, i don't feel like fighting, i'll let it sound like whatever it does to
you. I'd just be repeating what i said at the top of the page anyways. If
you want a common interface between several Eu sessions on one or many
puters, and have it easily transported from Windoze to Linux to Whatever OS,
ports are the way to go. HTTP, FTP, POP, and SMTP, etc are merely
handshaking protocols anyhow.
