Another sockets question

[Terry Olsen]

When a listener connects to a remote client, does it negotiate another port
to free up the listening port, or does it stay on the listening port?

I assmume you mean when a client initiates a connection to the
listner... And yes, the request is handled on a different port so that
the listener is free to go back to, well, listening

Yes, when the listening socket Accept()'s the connection, a new socket
is created, using a free port, for the connection.
