check the /etc/services file, and look for webcache entries
Actually I've just looked in mine and get

 grep webcache /etc/services
 #webcache        3128/tcp                        # WWW caching service
 #webcache        3128/udp                        # WWW caching service
 webcache        8080/tcp                        # WWW caching service
 webcache        8080/udp                        # WWW caching service

Which is sort of wierd, but vaguely rings bells (I've had the board for
18 months now and the memory isn't what it was, and I don't document
EVERYTHING I do :-).

I think I had to comment out the first entry way back to get webcache =
8080. If yours isn't commented out, it maybe that inetd is listening on
port 3128, so do a quick check with

http://192.168.0.50:3128/hello

If you edit /etc/services, you will have to send inetd the HUP signal
to make it re-initialise. /etc/services is just a file for mapping port
names to port numbers
