RE: Re: xAP over ethernet - here's how to write an input plugin.

No.

We need to register an official port. I'd picked 1739 because I thought the
application was deprecated (serves me right for relying on memory.)

The more there is for the user to configure, the less it'll be plug and
play.

There's a good mechanism for registering services globally. I'll go away
and use it...

... in the meantime consider 1739 a placeholder :-)

Why not make the port configurable so ppl can choose whatever one suits
their particular environment?
