RE: CA remote command server port

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd almost bet that the remote command is for licensing (or something), not
authentication. I use PCOMM at home, and it doesn't use remote command -
it's a general-purpose product and does not require host servers, e.g. But
it's still TN5250. The other emulators are the same AFAIK.
