You almost certainly don't want to use NSSocketPort ... that's a class  
for Distributed Objects
connections, and I assume that if you meant you wanted to connect to a  
distributed objects server you would already know that you use  
NSConnection for DO.

Probably you want to connect to a non-GNUstep server process which  
communicates via TCP/IP.  For that you should be using the NSFileHandle  
class.
GNUstep has +fileHandleAsClientAtAddress:service:protocol: to establish  
such a connection.
eg.

To connect to a network news server you might do -

myHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleAsClientAtAddress: @"myhost@mydomain"
    service: @"nntp" protocol: "tcp"];

Reference/NSFileHandle.html
