Oh.  That's exactly what I hoped *wouldn't* be the case.

Well - I guess the smart move would be to pick some very popular
game and use the same port they do.  People rarely try to play
too games at once - and I'd guess that the port number that popular
games used are only blocked in places where my port should be blocked
too.

Thanks for confirming my worst suspicions!
