The standalone Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server is 10x faster at accepting connections than the inetd started server. If you are making a lot of small connections to a UNIX ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server, starting it standalone (without inetd) is preferable. The ODBC-ODBC Bridge HTTP server is only available when the ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server is running standalone.
However, the inetd solution has one advantage: if the server crashes for any reason, future connections will still work without you having to restart the server.
