That "W4A" string probably mean "warez for(4) all" and it may be something
like a IRC Bot serving files for download or something like that, and that
opened port is for administration like an eggdrop, well, a googled for it
and found nothing and i never seen it before...
That "220" replies act like an FTP server..very strange.. you should take a
closer look at that machine.. good luck..
