I found this in my TCP/IP bible.
"Port numbers below 256 are reserved for "well-known services" (like FTP
and TELNET) and are defined in the Assigned Numbers RFC."
TCP/IP Network Adminstration
O'Reilly and Associates
page 46
So I guess Foxwatch is now a well known service.
Actually, any port below 1024 is suspect in the UNIX world. And 8080 is a
standard (if not well known) port number for many proxy servers.
Hope that helps.
