Can you elaborate?  I assume you mean its wrapping of Authentication Services, 
but that leads back to the questions I was asking before: has anyone used this 
to listen on a port < 1024?  And can I deauthorize after the Listen call, or 
will that cause my server to stop listening?

I'm agnostic when it comes to plugins -- pretty much anything that can be done 
with a plugin can be done with declares too.  My concern here is whether this 
approach will work at all.

Thanks,
