Took me a while to figure out what you mean, but I guess it is that with the mms protocol we don't have a choice of a UDP port?  Unfortunately I do not understand things as well as I wish, and it is not clear to me why a UDP port cannot be negotiated rather than having it fixed (having in mind that I am a *CLIENT*). Or maybe I am talking nonsense...
