sockets

[Kevin Franden]

Being incredibly naieve about sockets, I ask this blindly:

Doesn't there exist a function to determin a preexisiting (I've 
heard some call this a "wellknown") service's socket number?

IE:  isn't there somthing like gethostbyname() for sockets?

Also, does anyone have a description of what "wellknown" services 
expect/deliver?  Namely echo, daytime, and time.  I suppose I could 
experiment but I havn't even got a socket connection running yet...
