ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a communication system for accessing system services on a network of information handling devices including a server running on a host computer adapted to listen at a predefined port for requests for connection to service access agents; where the requests come from a client application; wherein the server is adapted to determine how to start the access agent for service as specified in the request; wherein the server is adapted to start the access agent with a dynamically assigned socket; and, wherein the client is notified by acknowledgment of the request, the acknowledgment including identification of the assigned socket to communicate with the requested access agent; the dynamically assigned socket being selected by system services from sockets available on the host computer on which the server is running; the access agent being adapted to access a requested service.
