we'll have an agreed proposal soon - even looked at how you were doing=20
similar in VSCP...;-)

You can try and acquire port 3639 and if you do then no hub is running,=20
ideally if you then use port 3639 you should offer hub functionality to=20
any other later launched apps .  If you grab port 3639 and don't provide=20
hub functionality you effectively will be the only functional xAP=20
listener - all other xAP applications will be deaf.    xAP 'send only'=20
applicatiosn will work fine though.
