[AG-TECH] AG2 and AG3 venue servers on one machine

[Derek Piper]

	Yes, I originally had my 2.x server at port 8000, apparently the 
default. So.. now we have two incompatible venue servers that all want 
to be the same default? That was a smart idea :>
	Since I already have 2.x installations around that use the one on port 
8000 as a default/home venue, I thought I'd just add AG3 on as port 
9000. Now, I guess it's possible to try it the other way and just run to 
all my installations and change them. In trying to run the AG2 venue 
server on port 900x, it doesn't start its text chat thing on port 9004 
either. Nothing's running on that port. And, just like it was with AG3, 
a venue client can't connect to it.
	I have the ports specified in VenueServer.cfg. All, but the 'textPort' 
one seem to work. The text chat thing isn't even trying to bind to port 
8004 either, so I'm not sure what's up with that. Do I have to redo my 
venue server from scratch if I change the port?
	I was specifying the text, event and date ports for AG3, yes. I had 
them set to the 900x equivalants and a venue client couldn't connect to it.
