  • Patent number: 6519625
    Abstract: A uniform user interface for network access can enable a network agent to access multiple discrete network services. A uniform network access mechanism can include software operative on multiple operating systems and executed on a network access device. A registry can display discrete services available on a network and implement communication with a discrete service listed as available. A discrete service can be identified with a Personal Network (PeN) address comprising an Internet Protocol address and a port number. Sending and receiving of data packets can be coordinated. A data packet can be received and parsed with an action responsive to the content of a received packet performed.
