Pls. excuse this way off OT question.
I realize there are quite a few HW geeks in this list. If you know of a
place in Mumbai that sells compressed air canisters (to clean computers
and such) please let me know. The other day I enquired at some of the
stores at Lam. Rd. and none of them could tell where such a thing is
available.
TIA

Ah, I had tried this earlier, and had made a check,
with netstat -a, command to find out whether this was
available.
But, then, it did not create a server.
Tried, this today again, and now it does, create a
server on port 4000, but still takes around 7-8
minutes.

The reason, I used port 0 is because, I could get the
server started on 4000 and Redhat did not make it
visible to me whether it had bound some application to
that port. Port 0 ultimately, gave a choice to the OS
to find out port for me :)

I thought, Java was preferred for networking
programming and assumed, this would be true atleast
for the years to come by. Is it true?

Ah, for the moment, I don't think, I would be doing it
in C, atleast till I am sure, I can do it.

I do google, a lot more, but solutions seem to be
passive, which does seem to help all the time. At
these times, I post to the list!
