This sounds really backwards to me as well. *Almost never* has anyone cared what tcp source port was used to send anything. The destination port is where it's at....

They are specifying 5 Outbound ports. No others. That means that I have to be able to listen on multiple ports... Or redirect their port to the port already setup for incoming. They don't care where I'm listening, as long it's one of their 5 choices. I can send on any port ;-) Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ...
