I was watching The Screen Savers on TechTV today and they were doing a Call-athon on hacking the entire show. One question was what was ports, and leo (host) said they are metaphoric holes(not like for hacking) where software talks into and out of, like quake is on 666... MY question is: Since ports are metaphoric, is it possible to make a program that talks to another computer on port 888888888(for example) or is there a set limit to the amount of ports on a computer. I was just wondering because the explanation kind of confused me. Thanx in advance! -(V)
