Hello,

from the ASINet help file:
---
SocketOpen( [<nSocketType>] , ; 
            <cRemoteAddress>, ; 
            <nPort>         , ; 
            [@<nError>]       ) --> nSocket 

[...]
<nPort>

This is the numeric port number on the local computer to bind the socket
to. 
---

Shouldn't that read "... on the remote computer ..." ?
See also help for SocketConnect().

For example:
SOCKETOPEN(SOCK_STREAM,cServer,21,@nError) -> connects to port 21 on
cServer

Regards
Uwe
