This means that you have the official IP adress 209.113.53.194. At this
time, people could try to telnet your machine from anywhere in the internet.
This adress is a dynamically assigned valid IP adress. So, if you have
apache web server installed, people could even point netscape at
http://209.113.53.194, and see your locally installed web pages ;)

You connected to host 209.113.55.254, which is the server that you diald-in.

The next four lines just give information about transferred packages.
