In both IPX and Appletalk the port allocations are done at the bottom level not per protocol. This means your kernel enforces source/destination address and port allocation (as well as what data channels you receive). What you prattle on top of that shouldnt do any harm (actually you can zap netware 3 servers if you are good but thats a bug;)).
