What is very interesting though is that software is nowhere installed on
any of our machines. Further more, no one has ever heard of it and has
no need for a financial research program. We just throw our money away
like everyone else right now.

If I find out more, I will post. Very odd though that I see this with no
data along for a ride. Seems like it is a ping or heart beat of some
sort.

A Google search for

	"first call" 2673

found:

	
http://www1.firstcall.com/support/client/support1.shtml?support%7Cclient
%7Cproduct

which says:

	First Call for Windows 4.2

	This is a password protected area of the site; please contact
	First Call Client Services to obtain the appropriate password,
	or send a message by e-mail.

	     o First Call for Windows 4.2 software is provided for our
	       customers who have a First Call 4.2 User ID&
	     o Please use port 2673 if possible, but port 8000 will
continue
	       to be accessible over the internet. 

It's probably referring to some software called "First Call for Windows
4.2" that uses the port in question.

Reading more stuff on the site to find out what that software is, and
does, is left as an exercise for the reader.
