Listen on 2 or more ports at once?

Avoid listening on low port numbers.

You can even listen on the same port number in UDP and TCP, but 
unfortunately you can't tell them apart in openSockets and it is hard 
to control which one you close when you close.  That is usually no 
problem when you open and close them as a pair (just close twice), as 
in providing a service that is available on both UDP and TCP.
