Yes. ;))

To register a hub, connect to any hublist server. They are traditionally run on port 2501.

The server sends a $Lock command, which works the same way it does in client-client and client-hub communication. The difference is how the initial key is calculated. For hublist connections, its calculated from the local/source port choosen by the OS (or by you). (this is in contrast to the destionation port, which will probably be 2501) (add the algo to calculate it. I think its something like byte e = highbyte(port) + lowbyte(port)). The only hublist server that cares about the key is vandel405.

After the hub has sent its $Key, it sends info on itself:

Hublist: $Lock ... Pk=...|

Hub: $Key ...|Hubname|Ip-address(:port)|Description|Users|Shared bytes|

The port defaults to 411 if not given.
