[Newbies] separating app from platform-specific parts of image?

I now need to see why the RFB package appears not to be working on  
Debian.

I loaded the package on my laptop, started the server, and verified  
that I could connect to it with Chicken of the VNC.  I did not stop  
the server, I saved the changes with a slightly altered name, and  
scp'd the image and changes files that had that altered name over to  
the Debian machine.

I started squeak with the command,

     nohup squeak -headless ~/squeaks/*image &

(in the directory, "squeaks," there are two files, the image and the  
changes)

This process appears to be running.  "ps -ef" shows:

     squeakvm -headless [~]/squeaks/Squeak3.9-final-7067_RFB.image  
squeak.image

When I use Chicken to try to start a session, changing only the  
hostname (which is a raw IP address), I get a "connection refused"  
message.

I have been told by this ISP that they are not blocking port 5900,  
and the nohup.out file is still zero length.  Is there something that  
netstat would reveal about whether the RFB app came up properly and  
is actually listening on 5900?  Any other clues?
