This is refered to as "localhost". It could be useful to you if, say, you want to test a new server you installed, you can connect to 127.0.0.1:port that would go through the loopback device back to your own computer (hence loopback) without triggering an outgoind connection. -- Oren Sarig sarig@bezeqint.net.il To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
