RFE not really appropriate to the Dallas offering. It is kind of a "what you see is what you get" product offering. It is darned good for the price.
The service is an entire (virtual) mainframe. The user "owns" it. We "own" our own TCPIP. I will edit the TCPIP profile to reflect the port reservation. If I needed help with it they would give me (some) help.

Of course, your problem is not that they are in use, but that they are blocked by the firewall. But it would be a courtesy if the service were to treat them as if they were in use.
