Subject: Read/Write Network Ports
Message-ID: <90677.1129956466419.JavaMail.root@mswamui-andean.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

Hello. I am a programmer writing my first networking program in Linux.
I need help with writing to a specific network port, for example, how can I find out what my network card is called or dialup modem is called? Can I use native commands to read/write to these ports? How do I configure them E.G., baud rate, IP Address, ETC.? Thanks!

Hi,

What do you mean by "port" ? If you want to connect to a web server for
instance, just use the socket() interface (man 7 socket and others).

Anyway, this list is really not appropriate.
