If a (PC) client sends a TCP SYN packet to a system using a destination TCP port 80..and that system is not listening on TCP port 80..does the system respond with some sort of TCP packet?
You should try it yourself using tcpdump or ethereal or whatever to capture the traffic. Different operating systems may behave differently. I believe the typical behaviour is to return a TCP rst...so the answer is yes.
