This is an excerpt from a security-oriented list-server:
While we are discussing NT, does your new Pentium Pro 200MHZ 
processor running NT seem v e r y  s l o w . . . ?   Perhaps the 
RPC services running on your workstation have been confused and 
are consuming all the CPU resources. Recent postings to the NT 
security mailing lists discuss how RPC services running on 
NT (3.51 and 4.0) can be confused by a simple telnet to TCP port 
135 and typing more than 15 characters. Microsoft has a patch for 
the problem.  Refer to:
