There is a port listed on my centos box in /etc/services with tcp and udp port number 1821 for "donnyworld". I've looked up and down Google for a description and can't find anything! Thanks!

What is donnyworld service?
In the summer of 1994 DonnyWorld, Inc. created the original Real-Time Animation Chat(tm). This DOS-based client-server product, unique and ahead of its time, was marketed to operators of asynchronous dial-up on-line systems (BBS's), during the period that the Internet was in its infancy. We operated our first full-time 8-line Real-Time Animation Chat(tm) server during the summer of 1995, and garnered favorable reviews in the Boston Globe and the Mass High Tech journal by autumn of 1995.

Donnyworld is a now dead "Animation Chat" protocol.
If you want to know more, you can search the Internet Archive Wayback machine for donnyworld.com.
The entry should probably be removed from /etc/services upstream, as the protocol is dead and the contact person for the entry can no longer be reached.
