Backweb is some new invention (http://www.backweb.com) by an Israeli
company (yay!), and if I understand it correctly, it allows you to create
'Web Channels' so people could actually 'zap' and receive channels
(passively) instead of looking for web pages (actively). But then again,
I probably have it wrong. I wasn't even sure there's a Unix client. There
might be though. I've heard that it uses UDP ports 194 and 193 or
something like that by default, hence the question.

Well:
psychodad:~/tmp/gimp-0.99.9/app> telnet becker1.u.washington.edu 6667
Trying 140.142.12.67...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
psychodad:~/tmp/gimp-0.99.9/app>
That might rule out an IRC connection. Ofcourse, I might be wrong... Hmm.
Ahhhhh :
psychodad:~/tmp/gimp-0.99.9/app> telnet becker1.u.washington.edu 6666
Trying 140.142.12.67...
Connected to becker1.u.washington.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
[E/X] Connected to server becker1.u.washington.edu, port 6666.
Yup. It's an IRC server alright... Not just some weird coincidence...
You sure there wasn't an IRC client running? :)
You running accounting? IP accounting? Anything unusual on 'last' at the
time of the incident?
