Re: xFx Hub and viewer - latest builds?

["Brett England" <brett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Agreed.  If you are running multiple applications that need to read
port 3639 you need a hub.  But in my case I have ONE application running
xfxViewer4 therefore I should not need a hub in order for it to work.  This
is my issue.  V4 won't get data unless I run a hub which is NOT how things
should be.
