 'PORT' is the portnumber that you use to connect to your DxSpider via
 telnet (see Listeners.pm)
 
+NOTE: If you can start the console but cannot connect to the cluster from it, 
+then it is possible that the machine you are on cannot resolve the hostname of 
+your cluster machine.  If this is the case, you need to set your hostname
