What does "default" mean, and is that definition in conflict with what I said? The docs say it means INADDR_ANY. They don't say what that means, so you'd have to read up on the C socket calls to learn more. Or some helpful soul will clarify for the class... :-) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
