knocking at rpcbind...

Here are three examples of someone trying to call rpcbind on a server of
mine. In all three cases the IP is not in DNS, so it is most likely a
DHCP wintel box that some developer is using and he or she is not even
aware that it is trying to contact my server. Since I have rpcbind
wrapped on this server the attempt is unsuccessful, but I have to admit
I do not recognize these and I am wondering if anyone else does. Does
anybody recognize callit(), getport(\377\276\330\240), or dump()? And
why would they attempt to get these services(?) from the company mail
gateway?

btw, portal is an Ultra 2 running Solaris 8, and is the company gateway
for mail.
