Yes it does. Try it. Without the '-p tcp' bit I get a quite lengthy
output including a whole slew of udp stuff.

Out of interest, could a few other people try "netstat -p tcp" with
nothing running and see what they get?

I _do_ have file sharing active.

I don't find that, I usually spend my time swaring at systems if I
can't get things to work. TTS is just a method of getting info for me,
the voice becomes so unimportant. I used to use Fred on OS 9 because
that's what was supported.

The scripting for Trillion was just to read back text as it appeared.
There was some element of programming because the screen reader had to
look for text and process it as it appeared. They use a function called
NewTextEvent in JAWS but this is wildly OT.

Disregard folks, replied to the wrong post by accident. I'd been
copying files in the finder and needed to turn off the mouse tracking
for selecting non-contiguous items. Forgot to turn it back on so the
mouse wasn't in the same place as the VO cursor. Replied to the wrong
message.

Ah, you were doing "-p tcp" and not just "-p" (despite the quoted
command above). The naked -p does not work:

aluminium:bin cjr$ /usr/sbin/netstat -anp|grep 5204
/usr/sbin/netstat: option requires an argument -- p
Usage: netstat [-AaLlnW] [-f address_family | -p protocol]
netstat [-gilns] [-f address_family]
netstat -i | -I interface [-w wait] [-abdgt]
netstat -s [-s] [-f address_family | -p protocol] [-w wait]
netstat -i | -I interface -s [-f address_family | -p protocol]
netstat -m [-m]
netstat -r [-Aaln] [-f address_family]
netstat -rs [-s]

On Linux, the naked -p prints the name/pid of the process with the open
local endpoint, so is a sort of alternative to the lsof incantation I
mentioned.

That's 5109, but it is worth checking :-)
