I use other ports all the time. I think you'll find it's the other way
around, the IB_Connection already uses port so the service manager access is
controlled by this
i.e.

> like :FServerName/3051 + ':service_mgr'

is already passed into this function.
anyway - I've never had to manipulate this call.
