----
Q:> How do I enable remote console so i can connect with BFRM Utility?
To enable the Remote Console add the following command to
ServerAutoexec.con;

admin.enableRemoteConsole <username> <password> [<port>]

where

<username> and <password> are the username and password you will need to
connect with the server.
<port> is the TCP/IP port address reserved for the Remote Console.

Warning:
 If you are behind a firewall you may want to set some firewall rules to
 allow a certain ip address to that specific port. This feature is also a
 vulnerability so be aware and check your logs. By doing this you can still
 have fun and be a bit more secure.
