Yep, that sounds interesting, Sott, but more simple proxy log filtering would count everything and could therefore probably more precise and also require no end-user interaction. Here you force the installing user to decided whether he wants to allow talkback for a specific port. This could certainly be handled by a global setting for port, but still…

I think one would have to really compare the pros and cons carefully before putting extra effort into extending the ports command itself with functionality for this purpose.

Just a thought. :)
