It's easy ...
you can use up to 10 local ports so you can make 10 conenctions at the same
time.

connect 0,80,ricsi.priv.at,b

connects from
you:<someport> -> ricsi.priv.at:80

a socket consists of 4 dataitems:
clienthost:clientport <-> serverhost:serverport

serverport determines the service (http, ftp, ssh, ...)
clientport is needed that the server can send back the data.

clientport is simply a free port on the client ... the number is
irrelevant.
I don't know netbasic, but it seems that you can have up to 10 concurrent
conenctions open ...

CU, Ricsi
