 The Xymon client software (port name "xymon") is collecting information on the host you want to monitor. It gathers everything into a report and sends it towards the Xymon server (port name "xymon-server") over TCP. The destination port to connect to the Xymon server is 1984 in reference to big brother http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(Nineteen_Eighty-Four).
