Thanks for your reply. I'm sending this back in case it stimulates any
furhter thoughts.

sockinfo.net.sys has this to say about pin 525:

*Warning 2* Process 525 has no active socket data structures

Press <CR> to continue...

PIN 525 did not show up in the call sockets list either.

Thanks,

Tony White

Dunno about the status code, but I use sockinfo.net.sys. It'll list all the
sockets (at least I've never seen it miss one no matter what state it was
in)
and by entering "C" will list just the call sockets. It'll also let you
drill
down on individual socket-ids and see what they're doing... It has a help
subsystem with detailed listings of all it's status codes.
