Hi,

Well whilst on about ports.
How about TCP sockets at least at one stage they used to be.
Once upon a time you referred to a funny "D" shaped thing with 25 little
holes in it as an RS232 serial port. Another with 15 pins as an AUI port.
Yes Cisco refer to them as "interfaces" but others do call them ports.
The trick here as I see it is to understand what you really are looking at
after all "a rose is a rose ....."
Just some views,
