That's one of the most common misconceptions about events. The client
app. does *not* listen to anything. Firebird server listens to incoming
connection. It goes like this:

1. when FB server is started it opens default 3050 port and
RemoteAuxPort for events
2. when client wants to listen to events, it connects to server at
RemoteAuxPort
3. when there is event to be posted, the server sends the info over the
connection that is already established (see step 2).
