I had downloaded, but not yet evaluated, a package that would act as
a "superserver" and filter/direct packets to the appropriate port.  I
forget the name and I lost it when my hard drive crashed-and-burned,
but I found it at Hobbes.

Another option (if you are running a recent fixpak) is to run the
undocumented OS/2 firewall.  There is at least one freeware gui that
will lead through the process.  You should be able to easily find it
by searching the WarpCast list.

 It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone
 collecting the sacrificial offerings.  Where there's service, there is
 someone being served.  Make no mistake about it, the man who speaks to
 you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters - and he intends to
 be the master.                                          -- Ayn Rand
