Ok let me try take a crack at this
From what i know the basics of these 3 are this.
1)Telnet- This is used for something like ftp and is a connection used through port 23, client/server connection.
2)Socket- This is a communication end-point unique to a machine communicating on an Internet Protocol-based network, such as the Internet. client/server connection.
3)Serial- This is usually reffered to as a "COM's port"(communications port). Such devices as a mouse,keyboard and other peripheral devices connect to this port. Some time ago printers connected on a Parrallel port. slave/master connection.
Dunno how much this helps. If it didn't, can u please re-phrase the question?
Smilies all round
:) :) :) :)

thx for de help. now i think i get it. i was a bit confused as to which networking layers the connections use.thnx againsridanua at 2007-7-12 17:45:33 >

In that case you didn't get your answer AFAICS. Telnet is an application layer, TCP is a transport layer. Serial I/O isn't a network thing at all, so it's not part of any network layer model, but if it was, it would be a data link layer.ejpa at 2007-7-12 17:45:33 >

tx 4 de reply. But whats so different between Telnet and Socket connectivity? They look similar. So why have 2 types?sridanua at 2007-7-12 17:45:33 >

Because they operate at different layers of the network, as I already said, which is what you said you were asking about.ejpa at 2007-7-12 17:45:33 >
