That's what I thought.  Your "A" diagram is the setup I'm testing on, so I
didn't think I needed to use any specially designated port.  But I still
can't seem to get anything happening.  The default port used in the script
is 1987, but I've also used 8080, neither of which seems to make a
difference.  It works fine when client and server stacks are on the same
system, but not when they're on separate local systems.

Anything else I can try?
