SagoNet warning / FYI

[Drew Van Zandt]

Hi all,
   Since SagoNet has been mentioned as a good cheap provider on the
list, I thought I'd share my latest irritation with them.  I was
having bizarre connectivity issues (no route to host) when trying to
use port 8081 outbound, to connect to an existing service running on a
work server.  (8080 was already in use when we set it up, etc.)  After
quite a bit of lost time trying to debug, I submitted a trouble
ticket.  Here was their reply, which was not terribly useful to me,
except to confirm that it's their fault:

server fail on 8081

Note that they DO NOT MENTION THIS in their documentation that I was
able to find; I don't know what other ports they may have randomly
decided are verboten, and I'm not too keen on finding out the hard
way.
