Clarification please.  "no firewalls blocking amanda" -- by this, do you
mean the three ports between 10080 and 10082 that the install requires?
Or that there are no firewalls at all?

I ask as the three "10K" ports are needed for the initial contact,
but other ports are also needed.  The connections needed are described
in the amanda document "PORT.USAGE
