I don't run any sort of *nix.  However, Rick Van Ruth did up a Debian 3.0
hard drive for me once (happily running Win95b on my sister's machine now)
and I made a compile of the same BinkD source as I was running in Win/32,
successfully.  I copied my regular binkd.cfg file from a Win box to the
linux PC... might have made a few changes ...can't recall... but, it worked
first up.  No problemo.  There again I wasn't trying to use non-standard
ports.  :)

In short: use the same core source.  Just use a specific .cfg file with the
'iport' set for a different (but not 'well known' service) port.  You may
not have to stuff-around with the 'oport'.[shrug]

Have a look through a nodelist for IBN listings using a different port. 
Clue: 24555 looks to be popular.

Bugger.

Cheers,
Paul.
