IIRC and it has been a long day

1521 (and maybe 1526) are required for the listener to receive requests for a connection from a client. the actual connection is then handed off to a free tcp port. To use thru a firewall i believe you need to look at using connection manager. Otherwise it might be worth sqlplussing to internet databases with system/manager to see what people are exposing!
