What you are seeing is a napster client's data port.  As long as you

Someone recognize this protocol? This is what happens when I try to
telnet to one of these machines,

  $ telnet remote-host.at-some.cable-isp.com 6688

  Connected to remote-host.at-some.cable-isp.com

At this point, I don't know what to say, so I type something, 'HELP,' in
this example,

  1HELP
  INVALID REQUESTConnection closed by foreign host.

Anyone familiar with this? If it is Napster or some sharing program,
fine, whatever, I am worried about malware.
