Yea, that should be enough, but I can support all control switches to 
keep the user from having to go inside of an .ini file or something 
all the time to change the defaults.

The CoCoNet console app first reads an .ini file that has the bps, 
stop bits, tcpport, etc. defined, then any CLI switches will override 
any of those settings, but then if the CLI switches aren't given for 
certain values, they are prompted for no matter what, .... but the 
defaults are shown for those values so you can just hit ENTER to 
accept and move on.  I wanted to allow several ways of launching the 
server and to avoid going into the .ini file all the time.
