No I don't.  I scanned it from the my work and nothing showed up.  I can even scan itself and it can't find anything.  I have done lsof and netstats to no avail.  If I scan news.com or yahoo.com it says 21 is open there too.  I find it hard to beleive that they would be running telnet servers.  The next hope in a netstat is some kind of a firewall box.  I am curious if it is intercepting my port 21 requests and dropping them or something.  Anyway just curious.  If you want to check me for an ftp port my address is thechunk.dyn.dhs.org.
