A port cannot do something by itself. The &quot;iptrace&quot; program which is part of bos.net can capture data which is aimed at port 6010. However, be aware that even in &quot;promiscuous mode&quot;, a given network adapter will not see all network traffic in a modern switched network. So depending on what you actually want to achieve, you may need to change your approach.

I just need the port to listen for traffic, we have a software package to deal with it from there.

Ok. hl7.org does not set any transport requirement, so juggle around with inetd until it works.<br />

Actually using port 6010 is not very good idea.<br />
This port is eventually used by ssh server side for secure X11 forwarding. note that and configure accordingly when you need X11 over SSH.<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
