# OpenTCPStream (ip$,port)

# Parameters

ip$=Address of stream port=TCP/IP Port Number

# Description

Use this command to open up a TCP/IP stream to the designated server and port. If the open command was successful, the command returns a stream handle. Otherwise it returns 0. You can use this for a multitude of different 'internet' options. Obviously to contact a TCP/IP host outside your own network, you'll need to be connected to the Internet. The IP address can be in the form of 1.2.3.4 or "www.domain.com".
