Someone is scanning your system looking for services available for them to possibly
exploit (break into your system).

So, on Nov 20, at 9:09:11 AM, there was a scan, the host attempting the connection
was 24.237.4.96 (whois info included below), and a service found for the port being
checked was callit.   Not sure what packard is, nor the 390109 for callit
represents.

Address:  24.237.4.96

Send anchorageak.net an email complaining of this.   Port scanning is generally
illegal/unauthorized under the AUP agreement.
