Hi once again: I just remembered that the official TCP port for ANSI Z39.50 is 210. You might also notice some Z39.50 servers are available on port 7090.
If you're running a public Z39.50 server, you will probably want to change the username and password for your Z39.50 server as well. By default, you connect using anonymous read-only access, but it would be trivial for someone to look at the Koha source code to read the defaults and use those to get write-access to your Zebra server...
