Yes, it's very easy. Just use ethereal to capture the packets
and identify the ports the application it's using to send the
packets, then use lsof -i to see what application it's using
that port.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
