RH9 has been tested and is supported. With REL3 I'am not shure.

Port 1066 is correct and you can not change this port (beside
changing the source code and recompiling both - Dynamo and
Iometer).

The handshake works that way, that Dynamo is first binding itself
to a random TCP port (given by the local OS) and then sends the
port number (where it is now listening on) as part of a LOGIN
message to port 1066 of Iometer machine. Iometer receives the
request, terminating the current connection and now itself calls
back by establishing a connection to the given port on the Dynamo
machine. From there on this connection then is used for defining
and running the tests.

Hope that helps.
