You should check that the port-value was parsed ok (that is, using
strtol). If that fails you should use getservbyname(port, "tcp") to see if
it was valid port-name.

Then you'll need to check for tcp-port == 0, since it's reserved, and I'll
guess the user will be confused when the connection comes from <Dynamic
and/or Private Ports> range when they specifed 0 as port. That is what
happens when you bind to port 0, it seems to me that is just a silly way of
not specifying the port at all.
