1521 is probably the port that was assigned to the ncube.  the problem
is that people are less likely to actually "request" a port assignment
if they are planning on using one above 1024.  so you get collisions.

as for a "comprehensive" list of ports...i was doing some work a few
months back that forced me to build a comprehensive list of ports.  i
started with the port-numbers file from iana that's been mentioned
earlier, and added in the services files from several operating
systems and a couple of port scanners in order to catch "local
quirks" and such.  i ended up with ~2500 ports listed.
