I don't understand that. The client port should change all the time (at 
new connection) but the server port shoud not change. It should allways 
be 5061 (by default). 

It is the same thing for the telnet server. The client port changes at 
every new connection, but the server port still remains 23.

I don't know how WSG works really, but, if you look at netstat option 
3, don't you have a connection on the port 23 *and* a connection on the 
port 5061 at the same time for a WSG session ?

If my assumption is right, it could be an help for your problem.

What I wanted to mean is the following (excuse my poor english) :

* the WSG exit program setup in a flag in a file for the IP address to 
say : hey, this IP address is using a browser
* in your kernel program, you retrieve the IP address using the right 
API and you test the flag
* if there is the flag, you can say the session is coming from a 
browser
* if there is no flag, you can say the session is coming from a pure 
telnet session

Something like that.
