Thank you, guys, it works!

Now, I just have to figure out how to start Maxima as a service
on localhost which waits for connects whenever I need to
solve above problem.

Unfortunately, I'm locked to Windows for this task:

maxima -s 4711 doesn't seem to work:

-----8<-----
C:\Programme\Maxima-5.18.1\bin>maxima -s 4711
Connecting Maxima to server on port 4711
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

  Error in LISP:LAMBDA-CLOSURE [or a callee]: Could not connect

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
Error in START-CLIENT [or a callee]: The tag RETURN-FROM-DEBUGGER is undefined.

Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Broken at CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER.  Type :H for Help.

What's wrong here? Is there some documentation around how the programs
interact?
