The PortNum constructor should rarely be used directly

So, shouldn't the constructor be hidden, and exported from an .Internal module?

- it contains the port number in network-order. You should try:

Or perhaps even better, the type could be: data PortNum = PortNum { msb, lsb :: Word8 } so that we avoid this kind of confusion? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
