Currently we use ports 4000 and higher, although it is not a matter 
of principle. You enter the desired port number in a special box.

Today we put in on the test. We made two machines Kaboodle+VNC 
servers and one machine a Kaboodle+VNC viewer. As no native 
multi-session support had been designed yet, we manually set up 
the proper values of ports and VNC displays. We succeeded to run 
two sessions at time and control the servers simultaneously through 
two windows on the viewer. 
We believe there are no program limitations for the number of 
sessions, provided that the hardware and the network are good
enough.

We entirely understand the importance of having a single 
"steel tube" for all Kaboodle applications. We are sure that after the 
MFC sockets are replaced with pure WinAPI sockets, and some 
additional measures are undertaken to support intensive bi-directional 
data exchange, the resulting "steel tube" will be capable of carrying 
Kaboodle "control" as well as VNC and other Kaboodle applications.
Commonly, WinAPI sockets are more fast-acting than MFC sockets.
