In the version I have (net-tools 1.60 - netstat 1.42) it is "netstat -p"

In the version I tried, it was built into the OS, not part of an add-on package.

You *were* running this on Windows, right? :-)

I.e., as per my earlier mail, finding out what process has a given socket open is platform-dependent. The "netstat" in Windows XP uses "-o", presumably; I guess it's "-p" in some Linux package, and the OS X (and possibly at least some other BSD) "netstat" doesn't seem to have any option for that.
