using sockets from a pseudo device?

[rfk <richard.kaestner%kabsi.at@localhost>]

hope, I am not totally wrong here ... ( if so, please tell me where to 
ask ;=)


trying to make a pseudo device, I would like to connect to a remote server.
However, I was told, it is not possible to do so from a driver ...
(actually I am pretty novice with device drivers)

So here is the question:
writing a pseudo device, can I open and use a socket ?



Thanks for your help
