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

[Thomas D. Uram]

A little clarification:

- the --port argument only specifies the main port, not the related 
(event,data,text) ports (unfrotunately)
- the event,data,text ports are specified only in the cfg file
- text does _not_ use 9004 or similar in AG3; instead, textHost and 
textPort point at a
Jabber server (using jabber.mcs.anl.gov:5223 by default)

Derek:

I'd suggest you modify the AG3 venueserver.cfg to specify:

textHost = jabber.mcs.anl.gov
textPort = 5223

and then try to start it.  If you want to use your own jabber server 
instead,
you would modify textHost accordingly.
