Try something like:
dispatch [port1 [print "Port1"] port2 [print "Port2"]]
as your:
print first port1
may be waiting for input on 'port1.
the whole idea was to wait for data from the ports :)
however, if I do it like [print "Port1"]
I get spammed with a never ending list of Port1's,
allthough the other end of Port1 isn't sending anything,
and occasionally one or two Port2's..
something with the 'wait seems fishy enough?..

As long as you do not handle the port event correctly, you will get the
event always again.
You have to do something like [new-port: first serv-port] on the port
after
it gets a connection to satisfy the event handler.
It seems to be a behaviour of wait to give back unserviced data as new
until
they are removed from the port.
