I'm sure it is in the documentation, but i don't know where.

The syslog function sends udp datagrams to the host of my choice. What destination port on the host does it use?

Thanks
John

UDP 514 if I remember correctly...

Yes, 514 is the 'official' syslog well-known port.

Here's a reasonable listing of the well known port numbers:
