Subject: (slightly off topic) Port 855 - usage?

We are auditing at a fairly simple system. There is a router external to
the network that handle two incoming lines to the network. It  is a 3com
(don't have the model number). It has the usual management port with telnet
access. It also has a port at 855 that presents just a prompt when
telnetted to.

Anyone know what it is there for? Is it a possible risk?

Yours sincerely,

Bret Watson
