There has existed the relevant byte-swap program for *years* though I
don't know if it is installed outside of the discuss locker (or if it
needs to be.) I'd also take issue with "many of them" -- perhaps we
could enumerate what services are limited in this way? (It would
probably be a useful addition to the office manual, which should
already have a section enumerating what services we *do* run...)

I don't think so. As I recall (from my involvement, I wrote the first
two (three?) versions of zwgc) that while Zephyr was an "underground"
project (ie. didn't have buy in from the Technical Director at the
time) the server was still Athena-run. (It's just coincidence that
*all* of the watchmakers involved in Zephyr were SIPB members.)
