IRC ports open on NT4?

Have some suspicious stuff going on at a site and in my initial 
investigation I went to an NT server there and typed 'netstat -an' to 
see what was open, and found these curious entries:

TCP     0.0.0.0:6666            0.0.0.0:0                       LISTENING
TCP     0.0.0.0:6667            0.0.0.0:0                       LISTENING
[...]
TCP     127.0.0.1:6667          127.0.0.1:1043          ESTABLISHED
TCP     127.0.0.1:6666          127.0.0.1:1043          ESTABLISHED

That box runs the following services: Post.office (SMTP MTA), 
Interscan Viruswall, Filemaker Pro Server, and PC Anywhere host.

There is no IRC server on that box, and the Microsoft NNTP service is 
not running.  Why would it be listening on IRC ports?

Thanks,


Phil
