Yep.  The only reason we had them at all was because of legacy firewall
configs for NBU 3.2 and 3.4.  We have been trying to get rid of all port
range stupidity for several years, but it's always the old "if it ain't
broke..."

Incidentally,  ACSLS 7 can be configured for single port communication
over TCP only, too.  That was another big pain.
