Correct again.

No. Though I can't say whether or not highly restrictive local
firewalls, or anti-virus software may cause conflict, though I've done
this process on my systems, and it has worked fine.

I don't see why that should matter, since you aren't actually even
actually leaving the local system, and the IP is strictly local to the
machine.

Sure, but the name is misleading, it is actually just a standard text
connection.
In the end, it works like this... you have Rev start listening for a
socket connection, you have Flash connect to it, and you start
communicating back and forth.
