i say use a port above 1024... so on *nix machines you can run a
server, and reboot it remotely, in the event it hangs or the server
crashes or whatever..., so the app doesnt have to run as root on
startup... so you dont have any security issues... since opendchub tends to
crash at times... my roomate has been using it for some time now... so i dont
know if it crashes as much, but he has a script making sure it continues
running, and starts it up again, in the event it goes down... but theres
still the security risk, in the event someone discovers an exploit...

so i recommend using a port above 1024... not like its difficult to say
which port to use, but might as well mention it at the start...

The hub doesn't know and doesn't care, but the client does because all valid
adc hub addresses start with adc://
If a hub wants to support both protocols (which, at least for now, seems
doable), it'll have to do it on two different ports.
