Windows machines tend not to have a telnet enabled unless you explicitly
install one !!
so the assumption would be that there's nothing happening on port 23 of
the windoze box
if you run a portscan against the winpc you'll probably only see
something on port 139 (netbios-ssn) and on 135 too if you check an NT
box.
