Have you tried e-mailing Ulysses G. Smith Jr. <ugsmith@cesi.com> and asking him? He's the one associated with VPPS Via, whatever it is. I reached the same dead-end too, when I tried all of my favorite search engines. It's a mystery.
Maybe he's just someone who grabbed some port numbers in the early days of the Internet, when they were available for the asking.
Let us know what you find out. But if "THEY" come to your door, knock it down, and take you away in handcuffs with a bag over your head, remember, you don't know me. (Just kidding.)
