disagree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Perdón, pero no en este contexto, donde "port to call" es figurativo para decir "lugar de primera asistencia" y no se refiere a ningún puerto físico o lógico.
6 hrs
disagree  Calimon: Es lenguaje coloquial, un idiom. No se puede traducir literalmente pues "puerto de llamada" no tiene ningún sentido en el contexto de la asistencia técnica por Internet.

disagree  OSWALDO MESIAS: no tiene nada que ver con el contexto, ya que estamos en tema de servicio técnico en informática, nada de mar ni hay razón para marearse ;-)

  -> sin embargo, a mí me parece que lo que no tiene nada que ver, es "tu" traducción
disagree  Calimon: Con todo respeto, "puerto de escala" tiene mucho sentido en un contexto de viajes por mar, pero no de asistencia técnica por Internet.
