[NOAAPORT #RBX-213298]: ports



Patrick,

> REQUEST NGRID|WMO|HDS ".*" 192.168.20.7:390
> REQUEST NGRID|WMO|HDS ".*" 192.168.20.8:391

Assuming different IP addresses mean different computers, the REQUEST entries 
all specify a different computer -- so specifying a different port number is 
unnecessary.
