yes, afaik.  it's just tcp.

up in the 17000 range, but i'm too tired/lazy to check.

no, but the authentication is.  tcp-hijacking [hi ECHELON]
is doable, but kinda impractical.

it's pretty impressive (save for those stupid 'postnote' windows
which essentially say 'bust').  it's a bit unforgiving when net delays
are exceeded.  i've drawtermed from sydney to NY and paris to NY.

i'd like to re-write it in limbo, but my list of things i'd like to do
is getting rather long ...
