Re: noob questions

Quickmud only uses a single port, So its rather simple, either another
program is taking up the port, or another copy of the mud is currently
running. =)
ps ux to see if you have another copy running
also you can change the default port by running
../src/rom <portnum> to any port number you wish (above 1024)
