I believe Road Runner allows non-commercial servers as well. I run
http/smtp/ssh/etc. without any problems. They only block samba/netbios
at the router level (ports 137-139) but that is because of security
issues.

xargs is a filter for  feeding argumants  to a command. It can
break data stream into chunks for filters/ commands to process
[e.g. 'ls | xargs -p -l gzip'  gzips  all files in the current
directory sequentially after giving prompt at each file].
