All the connection attempts are definitely FROM the Portmasters.
Here's a typical output from "tcpdump port 1642" showing the SYN from
the PM and the RST from the UNIX server:

18:44:02.398792 pm6.kuwait.net.1011 > access.kuwait.net.1642: S 127:127(0) win 4096
18:44:02.399597 access.kuwait.net.1642 > pm6.kuwait.net.1011: R 0:0(0) ack 128 win 0 (DF)
