Solarwinds to see which ports are available is like nuking a city to take
out the termites in your house.  It's got lots of other features you may
like...but if all you want is to know which ports are free, is there a
reason you can't look at ifstatus and perhaps recent history traffic
graphs to see A) if it's up now, and B) if it's not up now, was there
traffic on it recently?
