Depends on what you mean by "open". 

To find out what services are actually *listening* on a system, "netstat -l"
(that's lower-case L) will list them by port.

If you mean is the router firewalling the port, then you need to inspect the
output of "ipchains -nvL" to see what is being DENYd or REJECTed. More
usefully, if your site is NAT'd, check your port-forwarding rules for
something that forwards 1214 to an internal system.

To "turn it off" via the firewall, add a rule that DENYs incoming traffic
to, or outgoing traffic from, the problem port. To turn it off wherever it
is running, terminate the app that is listening on the port (or modify
inetd.conf if it is a service that runs through inetd - improbable in this
example).

For intro-level info on Morpheus, go to http://www.musiccity.com/ and look
at the FAQ. It appears to be Windows only, so you might ask anyone who has a
Windows workstation behind your router if he or she knows what's going on.

A bit more technical information is here
        http://www.openp2p.com/lpt/a/p2p/2001/07/02/morpheus.html
and it confirms the association with port 1214. As I read this, you would
have to be (a) running a "SuperNode" (Morpheus-speak for a directory server
with a published address) -AND- (b) port-forwarding port 1214 to it via the
router. I can imagine the first happening without your knowing, but the
second is improbable.
