FYI....Here is a link for info on computer communication standard for port numbers.
Peter,
This can vary from system to system, but here are a few clues ...
First of all, we should only use ports above 1024. Then, as Tim told you,
you can look at the official list of reserved port, and know which ones are
reserved for your particular system.
You can also issue 'netstat -a | grep LISTEN'. This will display all the
ports that have active listeners. These certainly are not available for you
to use.
For safety, if I am not using 1414, I start my listeners on port 14140 and
above; these tend to be safe numbers on most systems I have worked on.
Regards,
Dave Awerbuch

Subject: Pick a port, any port.
If one does not want to use 1414, how do you know what port is safe to use?
Do you just pick some number up in the thousands and hope nothing conflicts
in the future?
