Looking at netstat I saw port 17 standing open, listening to my own computer. Apparently this port is connected to the qotd-service and thus.

Since by default this port is open, in my opinion you could better use it as well. But how?

How can I send messages to port 17, how can I use the qotd-service and how can I set the quotes manually?

And in general, how can I send messages to ports (without using complex programs, i.e in command line mode).

thanks,

swamphen
