RE: Sockets problem (what is)

Its these two that I'm not sure of:

s-msg to client 'move to port 999'
c-msg to server 'understood'

Do we code a  "getservbyname" to get the port number that the server moved
to? And what do we use to send the msg "understood"?



Thanks for helping...

The light just came on.
If the server changes PORT the client must follow to the new port.  The
server can't be randomly choosing a new port; it has to tell the client
what
port to move to.

c-connect on 555
s-accept on 555
s-(checks for free ports)
s-msg to client 'move to port 999'
c-msg to server 'understood'
c-connect on 999
s-accept on 999
