The Access through local firewalls document on csdirect does not give any hints that you need that port for 
view holds in release 2005.

I completely understand the frustration, but IIRC, the port 1031 requirement has been on the firewall document [ http://csdirect.iii.com/faq/firewall.shtml ] for some time. It has been a requirement for at least some of the functionality of the Millennium client since R2002 Phase 3 and the introduction of Millennium Statistics. This came up the last time I was reviewing the firewall issues with our IT department. 

The change to just the 1030 & 1031 port is a great advancement of the R2002 Phase 1- requirement for a port for each Millennium client. Most people probably didn't notice the change because they had already opened 1031 when they had opened 1030+. What Innovative really should have done is told people to close 1036+ after the move to R2002 Phase 3 since they were no longer used.

I do agree that direct customer commenting (blog stylee), though, not editing (wiki stylee) of the system documentation would be a great thing. For the full wiki route, I would not want it to be the official documentation, as I still believe in the value of strictly vendor controlled documentation.

HTH,
David
