...and others have dynamic port allocation (controlled by "other" appliances), you never know which one you're gonna get.... --Forest Gump? Umm no.

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...
