Thanks for the info, Daryl!

Yeah, I am glad I had that bot checker as well all these years later ..
although (almost as you said), the Internet allows people from all around the
world to hack someone else's PC/IP/etc. and start attacking others. At least
back in the early 90s, they had to have an expensive phone bill to do so
(yeah, I know, they also were able to steal phone cards, etc.) LOL

It appears 62323 is back up again - I have also been keylogging my fresh
install of mystic on a standard :23 (not sure if I had said that in the
previous port). And added a looonnnnng system password as well. So of course
they are going to never get it using "admin" "root" etc. and will be blocked
after 3 attempts anyways. Then, I -merge- those IPs into my main Mystic
install but change the last "octet" to .* -- the more and more I get from the
same main IP (eg. 218.201.57.*, then I keep updating to block out more and
more like 218.201.* and then 218.*) at the Firewall level so they won't even
ever get past the router end.  Takes a bit here and there, but I'm missing
being able to access my own BBS from work during lunch using the .html Telnet
portal. :(

Have a great day!!!!
