You're right about it being an async connection to some
other device external to the router.

You don't mention what type of router it is, but if it's anything
like a Cisco 2511, which is a 16-port async box, each port
above 2000 is 'tied' to a serial port for reverse telnet capabilities.

The VTY configuration should have ACL's configured to disallow
unwanted traffic, but it seems that you've found that they
haven't blocked you...
