Tried? Actually making my living out of that. :-)

H> On a local machine, it supports ONLY IPServer connect.

No, it supports almost anything but IPServer, which is overridden by
the embedded connection.

It's amazing the quantity of mailing list traffic fbembed has
generated so far mostly because of a combination of imprecise
documentation and incomplete understanding of the architecture in
people.
Would you like me to amend the documentation as I see fit or would
that be a useless effort anyway?

Ciao
