Yeah, had the ISP part (I'm on SBC). Not certain how many others on the same 
DSL subnet may have seen traffic...

As others have pointed out, the scan seems to be generated by a network 
discovery tool provided by SingleClick Systems and embraced by Dell...

Now I wonder if the fault is in the coding by SingleClick or in the 
implementation by Dell.
Unfortunately, SBC hiccuped and changed my IP address so the scan is gone 
and I can't packet capture...

But, now swatch will tell me if the scan reappears.

Thanks anyway,
