80: if you use something else, many users will be unable to connect. Many users access the web from behind corporate firewalls that only allow certain ports to pass, for security reasons. Usually 80 will be among those ports. Usually 800x will not. Speaking from experience, it can be really frusterating for a user to run into this... Received on Tue May 14 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
