Add badly documented to the pile. For instance, it appears to ship with a
mini web server
running on a nonstandard port, serving out whatever is in
SYS:\ETC\PROXY\DATA. The only reference I found to it was a technote
explaining how it could be used to handle proxy autoconfiguration for web
browsers.

That, and BM appears to be listening on port 8225. Can anyone fill me in as
to why, and for what?
