I hastily responded to this with some invective of my own. I wish to publicly apologize because I was just a bit hasty. Dr. Reed is a principle contributer to networking as we know it now, in particular, UDP. He is also known for "Reed's Law," which points out a problem with the scalability of large networks. Of course, none of this means that he is right or wrong about port 0x80 on these crappy Wintel machines. Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.6.22.1 on an i686 machine (5588.30 BogoMips).
