Thank you. It turns out there are several problems with that command line.

I'm not sure why I had the -T option specified, but it requires an argument.

The -s and -D options say they are supposed to have an IP address, yet I 
was using a domain name. I'm not sure how strict the code is on that 
point, but I didn't test it.

The -D switch is documented (per the usage help compiled-in to mvpmc) as:

         -D display      VNC server IP address[:display]

yet the command:

  # mvpmc -s 192.168.0.203 -D 192.168.0.203 -T --web-port 80
  Incorrectly formatted VNC server '192.168.0.203'

returns an error. Apparently the display component is not optional, and 
thus shouldn't be shown in square brackets.

The --web-port option is correctly documented:

         --web-port port configuration port

as requiring a port:

  # mvpmc -s 192.168.0.203 -D 192.168.0.203:0 --web-port
  mvpmc: option `--web-port' requires an argument

but I had been following the wiki, which showed:

   --web-port [port]

   --web-port ## the default is 80

Yet clearly the port is required, and thus there is no default.

I've updated the wiki to correct these items.
