NIS 2001 (Norton). I tried both with it enabled and disabled, other
programs worked ok this way: browser, binkd, transx, mail, icq, ftp
(only unprotected). Actually, two users and Janis tried to telnet
here (as I could find them on ICQ at the same time to invite for the
test), they reported the "timeout" (binkd worked ok as server, so
link and dyndns were working ok)
