   I dont have telnet installed - it is an alternative to BINKD. Binkd sessions    
   are over 24554. fido:// ones are 60177 and the telnet:// ones are 60179. I    
   think the later two are modem emulated IP connections(?) - IE: I needed EMSI    
   to the old board, and it expires the "connector" to transmit some special    
   chars to destingish between a mailer calling and human (wanting to go into the    
   BBS)...

   I'm guessing, that these were "dummy packets" from my old BBS - there was a    
   zmodem option enabled to send a dummy zmodem transfer. Those dummy packets    
   were zero bytes in size - and they stopped once I turned that option off...
