on the router - "netstat -an" will list all active connections and all
the ports listened to.

myrouter: -root-
# netstat -an
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address
State
tcp        0      0 your..ip.no:22     122.132.142.152:22
ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

After you have "logged of" from the university -  check to see if the
connection is still there.

Works from a DOS box in Windows as well.   For example if "netstat
-an" reports a port :6667 then perhaps some IRC bot has taken over
your computer.  Of course that is what LEAF is for - to keep the bad
guys out.
