AFAIR, this setting won't work with SSH, because all connections are routed 
through localhost ports, typically bypassing localhost:80, starting with 
localhost:81 and stepping up by ones.  So to use asynchronous events, Zebedee 
would need to have access to at least two ports off localhost.  Firebird 
doesn't have any control over the ports it is allowed to access.

It would be interesting to see where Jiri goes with this, since I recall that 
Microsoft choked the localhost ports in XP and above, as a security fix of some 
kind. There was a period where async events would not work with SSH in any 
environment...I don't know whether this is still the case.
