I've just realised that port 2201 is not registered with IANA 
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers), and is in fact reserved 
for another application, "Advanced Training System Program".

Ports 2210 and 22201 are available, perhaps we should register one of 
these and change the default port in bbstored? Any objections or 
preferences?

I propose the following registration details (see RFC 4340 at 
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4340.txt, section 19.9):

bbstored 2210/tcp (or 22201/tcp) Box Backup store daemon SC:bbsd
(http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup) 
# Ben Summers <boxbackup@fluffy.co.uk>

We would also need to request a Service Code such as SC:bbsd as defined in 
RFC4340 section 8.1.2.

I have no idea where to send such registration requests at present. Does 
anyone know?

Cheers, Chris.
