ATEXSSTR (anet)

Registered as anet/ATEXSSTR, an Atex publishing-system service with no public spec.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA lists port 212 as anet, ATEXSSTR, registered by Jim Taylor of Atex, the newspaper publishing-system vendor. No specification was ever published and no general implementation exists, so the registration is the entire public record. It appears in /etc/services and therefore in scanner output. Anything found on 212 is unrelated to Atex.
