When the local or foreign address has stars, this indicates an unconnected
wildcard PCB. In the above example, there is something listening for new
connections on port 2257 on the local address 'colonel' (it might make more
sense to use the '-n' option with netstat so that addresses and ports come
out numerically). The '-a' option is also useful and displays info on all
PCBs.
