RDC port change?

Can I change the RDC port number? If so, then how/where?

RDC works great in either direction on my two machines if I
stay with in the confines of my home net.

I've established an RDC service using 3389 on my WGR614
and I've set port forwarding.

When I was playing with TikiWiki & PHP, I learned that my ISP
prohibits inbound traffic on 8080; so the server was set to listen on
9090 and everything worked great. I suspect my ISP is also blocking
inbound traffic on 3389 so I'd like to bump it to a new port.

I'm not looking to do anything commercial; but as a grad student I'm
working on an Independent IT Study Project and need access occasionally
from the girlfriend's house or from school.

Thanks in advance.
JK
