Will find out what HTTPd is running and post it.

A lot of NT web server like this one are being installed by vendors,
sitting behind a firewall with a hole poked in it.  When the NT system
is hacked the people running it are probably going to try and blame
their firewall administrator.

I didn't get through the TIS machine.  I social engineered their director
to let me into the computer center to check the air-conditioning while all
the computer operations staff were out to lunch.

TIS boxes are strong and reliable.  I don't know anybody who cracked one
yet.
