G'day Penedo and others, Yes, anything above 1024 is nice, but a lot of people have thrown in the "unofficial" protocols as you said and I find most of them reside between 1024 and 10,000 (all though there are a few outlying ones). Best bet is usually an obscurely high number ;) Hoo Roo, Alex. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFkyQ1qiAqtUUyjdYRAt3DAJ4/NrNTwDRuFzRx4wZzt0kfJYlOmwCgnG+C 7xS8nJFFNPS+11nj/IegiM0= =YMiL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
