I would STRONGLY suggest to choose different ports. I believe there's a list
out there, I think it's through IANA (www.iana.org - somebody please confirm
that) that tells which port is 'registered' . Pick some free ports high up,
preferably not next to each other (I would go pick like 7492, 9816 and 9752-
handpicked these :) ). Wouldn't want some h*cker discovering you're using
1234 with some sec hole somewhere and let him just try 1235 and 1236, now
would we?

But hey, waddah I know, it's just my $.02 - maybe I'm wrong. At least
someone on the list will tell you, and you'll never forget (and neither will
I).

Rick
