yes, all ports below 1024 are only for privileged users.

search uses different ports and only UDP ports (no telnet possible to know if 
it works). You can force DCTC to use a set of given port (see /GDLASPORT)

If you see a Trying status for a long time, most of the time, this means the 
remote client does not reply and DCTC waits 30 seconds before cancelling the 
attempt.
