Rapimgr is associated with ActiveSync. May have an IP address as a placeholder for passthrough internet to a handheld terminal. Needed if you connect handheld devices or phones to your PC, otherwise not needed. Usually needs to be downloaded from Microsoft for it to be on a PC (not sure about Vista).
