There isn't one, yet.  Itamar is talking about a deprecation that will 
happen as part of a more central refactoring of Application, that will 
clean up lots of cruft.  When this happens, the deprecation warnings 
for Application.listenTCP will be very clear on what it should be 
migrated to :-).  For the moment, continue using app.listenTCP as 
usual.  (You can see an earlier thread where I responded to Moshe's 
suggestion for refactoring Application for more details.)

Unfortunately our design skills have really been outpacing our 
implementation speed lately.  I'm sorry for the divergence in "what 
will be the right thing" and "what is currently a working thing" that 
this creates.  Luckily at least newcred is mostly done now :)
