It appears all the root priviligies in the world can't make this this
thing listen to priviliged port 110  on Debian ! It worked fine on
Radhat system

As I mentioned above,   it is useless to me unless I can make it
listen to one of the priviliged ports open on my "mail-only" internet
wireless package.

I have complete control of the Debian server.  It is 1.4.x version of Jabber
