Does netbios serve any useful purpose on the cobalt RAQ servers.  I can not
think of any reason why I would port 139 open on an internet hosted box.

The strange thing is that Cobalt ships their products with this port open. ?

The open Port 139 is used by Samba for Windows file sharing. You should either turn off Windows file sharing, or firewall the port to external users.
