Yes.  That's the way essentially *all* TCP/IP clients work -- only the

No.

No.

Yours or your firewall administrator's.  You need need to configure the
firewall to allow outgoing connections from any (non-reserved) port to
port 2401.  The rule should look almost exactly like the rule for telnet
except for the different well-known port number.
