Apologies for being a pedant, but if anyone's *buying* a penetration test and
all they're getting for their money is a simple port scan, they're being
misled and/or ripped off.

Naturally, this is not meant to deingrate Mark's helpful offer in any way. ;-)

FYI, I haven't checked whether it's still around, but the Self Port Scan
page at <http://crypto.yashy.com/nmap.php3> used to be pretty useful for
this sort of thing.
