But isn't the Internet a medium of communication as is the Post and the
telephone?
Therefore, shouldn't it support communication between any two points,
wherever they may be or however they're called?

 But the Internet is not the postal system nor the phone system. We already
 have the postal system and the phone system.  They may be slower, but does
 that mean they should be replaced or that the Internet must duplicate what
 these systems do? BLB

 You can't address a letter to someone in Berkeley, USA in nagari or
amharic
 characters and expect it to reach. However you can address a letter to
someone
 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in ASCII characters with a poor-phonetic
 approximation and expect it to reach (choice of locales based on
experience).

But don't packets get routed using IP addresses  (i.e. numbers) ?

Good point.

I didn't think about e-mail addresses.

Subject: Port Help ?


 Hi there Folks,
 Sorry about this but I don't know who to ask. I'm looking for a list
 of what ports are assigned to what I.E..

 echo 7 Echo
 discard 9 Discard
 ftp-data 20 File Transfer [Default Data]
 ftp 21 File Transfer [Control]
 ssh 22 SSH Remote Login Protocol
 telnet 23 Telnet
 smtp 25 Simple Mail Transfer

 I don't suppose any one has a list, or could point me in the right
direction
 ?

 Thanks
 Jon
