Technically...
4000 is the port number. A server running Unix (or Linux) has an IP
address, which is its address on the internet. The machine also has
port numbers. (0 - 65535 or so). This is another level of address. If
you are running a mud at the address a.mud.here on port 4000, then the
MUD server program watches port 4000 for incoming data. Your MUD
client, lets say zmud, sends data to a.mud.here and specifies that it is
to go to port 4000. This way, you can have multiple muds or any other
internet program running on one server and they all keep their data
seperate.
