If you specify a port in the C-line, and the Y-line allows it, it
will try to auto-connect. You want to make sure that only one of
them does an auto-connect. You need both the C, and Y-line to
turn it on, or one of them to turn it off.
If a port number is specified in the C-line, or not, you always
have to use the port in /connect. The code is there to allow it
without the port number, it's documented like that in certain
places, but it doesn't work like that anymore for a long time.
