This was helpful. I found out this port (and others) where used
by NetFinity. While NetFinity allows taking the whole desktop
of other computers (like Back Orifice does --- but never was
meant to be a "hacker" tool). It might be a back door. There
is only password protection for all services NetFinity provides.
The connection isn't encrypted.

NetFinity is IBM's tool for remote administration.

OT: GkWare Setup program doesn't run on Win98. I've informed the
    author about the problem. Workaround: install on NT4, copy
    the install directory. The programm seems to run.
