I've traced through omniORB.  It calls bind() with a port number of 0, =
which is
supposed to have the OS set the port number.  However, the getsockname() =
call
shows the port number as still 0.  I just sent a message to PharLap =
support
about this.

I did try "telnet Target 0" ... this works as you described.
