In my previous post I forgot to come up with a port number for a Moxie server. I have big dreams, so I’m picking a low number. According to IANA 26 is free, and it’s right next to SMTP (the other asynchronous messaging system). Who knows, maybe Moxie will grow up some day to actually officially own port 26. For now, it’s my system and I’ll listen on any port I want. In the future I might need to change this to some port above 1024, if client applications need callbacks. Time will tell.
