Is there a IAB policy which might relate to the use of Well Known
Service (WKS) numbers or Internet ports for Relatively Unknown Services
(RUS) such as PC-NFS.  There is an IBM-PS/280 on our network that is
shipping 14 bytes of text in a UDP packet directed to WKS 9, the discard 
service.

Example data:

	PC-NFS04080B65
	PC-NFS0415AE76

What might these hosts be doing?  Would they like a reply?  I kind of
doubt it.
