Hello Steve, Try installing the "Active Ports" freeware on the machine in question and it will show you the all the active ports and, more importantly, the full path to the executable that is listening on the port. It is then a simple task to find out if this program should be there. Only a 450 Kb download.

After doing a google search, all I find are documents that list the port as an "Event Listener". No additional, useful information is provided. Doing an additional search for "event listener"returns those same documents. The machines that have this port open are running windows 98SE. Is this normal for a windows 98 machine to have this port open? If so, what is it used for? Can it be disabled? The only other thing that these machines all have in common is a Novell client. I'm in the process of removing a Novell client from one of them to see if the port closes.
