Seems like they scanned in an effort to find an easily rootable service. DNS, NFS, etc, etc... As for the echo stuff they could've been searchin for something like an outlet for DoS's eg. echo | chargen or some type of other bouncy like DoS. As for the scan starting at 2443, thats PCCSF (powerclient central storage facility) which I have never seen on any security related list. Same with ports 516 (videotex) ,511 (passgo) ,633 (servstat), etc etc... They could've just scanned in a funky order maybe with thoughts that if it seemed funky it would throw off an admin? (sounds crackheadish I know...)
2443, 53, 516, 511, 162, 111, 109 633, 987, 171, 241, 848, 278, 700, 119, 899, 317 196, 909, 129, 128, 883, 840, 904, 553, 177, 679, 803, 106, 418, 340, 126, 635, 373, 834 90, 959, 545, 217, 187, 1011, 967, 677, 19, 630, 858, 758 538, 949, 818, 642, 711 905, 873, 562, 317, 764, 637, 280, 378 881, 191, 688 then the 4 minute scan on tcp/udp port 7. Regards.
FYI here is a link for a listing of port numbers which I'm praying people will save and do some little homework on... e.g.: Someone port scans you on say... 1706 ... Then look up on Security Focus for Jetform or whatever program 'should' be running on the defined port.
