There is a list of ports that are opened by the rotary command. Not only
just in the 3000 range.

But it seems like I haven't read it carefully in the past either and
missed that fact too.

The other ports are for raw TCP, Telnet binary mode. I read raw TCP can
be used if have a printer connected to your router ;-) But maybe someone
can clarify on that.
