So what would you call the protocol I'm using below? $ grep 'stockquote' /etc/services stockquote 99/tcp $ telnet some-host 99 Trying some-ip Connected to some-host Escape character is '^]'. GET_STOCK_QUOTE sunw (I entered this) <quote> (the service responded with this) <symbol>SUNW</symbol> <value>3.3872</value> </quote> Connection closed by foreign host. $ Ok, *somebody* has gotta be having an "Aha moment" after that one.
