    Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Microsoft's implementation of RPC called
    DCE RPC and if so, isn't the portmapper listening on port 135, not 111.  So,
    that being said, I believe Jonathan was talking about *nix RPC, and Opus was
    talking about DCE RPC.  
    
    A slight misunderstanding...
    
    And yes, i am seeing an increase in port 111 activity, and no activity to
    port 135.
