Probably it depends on a particular server. I tried it with Ipswitch on 5
different machines. It worked on 3, and didn't work on another two. Found no
other programs occupying 2525. Kind of weird, but this is what I observed.
Asa far as ease to remember: I don't think it is imortant. Once you
installed it and it worked, you can leave it running and forget about it for
good.
