ircII help - set/dccport

Usage: SET DCCPORT [value]

If set to zero (default):

    DCC requests are sent with the first available
    TCP port, as judged by your operating syste.

If set to nonzero:

    All dcc requests you send will be sent with
    the TCP port you specified.
    In this case, note these:
    - You can only have one listening
      connection open for the same port at time.
      After the connection has been established,
      you can reuse the port again for new connections.
    - Allowed port range is 1..65535.
    - Ports 1..1023 are reserved for system services (root-only).

This setting might be handy to circumvent a strict firewall. Together with /set dcchost, most firewall-related problems are history. ;)
