No.  Their outbound ports become my inbound ports.  I can tell them that my 
server is at http://127.0.0.1:9584 but they will just tell me to go fish ;-)
PS: Port 9584 is from an AS2 Hub that we are in production with...

Only if my inbound partners agree.  This one does not.

That would be wrong.  All servers have to be configured to 'listen' on a 
particular port.  Most times, these are defaults (Web, Email, SSH, Telnet, 
etc...) 
AS2 recommends a few ports, but you can actually use almost any other.
Ex. pcAnywhere uses 5631 & 5632.  If you want additional pcAny sessions, you 
have no choice but to use other ports...

If I already have an AS2 server listening on port 8001, then something sent to 
9080 will be ignored.  

We _have_ found 2 possible solutions, depending on the client setup.
1) run multiple server sessions, each listening on a different port.
2) configure the router to forward the incoming AS2 to the port which is being 
used by the server.

thanks for everyone's input...
