Dunno... Here is the socket states right after a login:
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp        0      0 xxx.xxxxxx.xxx:1080   toc-r01.blue.aol.c:9898 ESTABLISHED 
tcp        0    144 xxx.xxxxxx.xxx:1079   toc-r01.blue.aol.c:9898 CLOSE       
tcp        0    144 xxx.xxxxxx.xxx:4778   toc-r01.blue.aol.c:9898 CLOSE       

Go figure.
