New AOL Instant Messanger "Feature"

["Frank W. Keeney" <FKeeney () hsa com>]

AIM has a new file transfer feature. If you see inbound connections with
destination port 5190 you probably have someone attempting file
transfers:

14:54 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4065) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 1 packet
14:56 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4143) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 1 packet
14:57 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4211) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 1 packet
14:59 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4065) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 4 packets
15:01 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4143) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 4 packets
15:02 denied tcp 208.179.64.2(4211) -> 209.80.92.3(5190), 4 packets
