If you have no known ftp activity occuring but there are ftp packets being
sent to and from your machine, there is only one conclusion I can reach.
Your machine has been cracked and your are being used by someone else.

IF all you have running is a telnet window, then there should be NO
activity on that link.

This is the part of an ftp exchange between the 216.x.x.x machine and
the dialup machine.  Maybe part of a login sequence, but it is in
response to something the dialup machine started.  The ftp link has
already been established between a high, unprivileged port on the dialup
and the ftp port on the 216.x.x.x machine
