     I get a lot of connects with  as the address...and the   
   majority of these are bots/script kiddies. Unfortunately, one of my   
   users, a Visiting Sysop, has this as his IP...and I tried to make an   
   exception for him, while filtering out the others, but I could never get   
   it to work.   
      
     I'm with dyn.org (formerly dyndns.org), but also use the *.synchro.net   
   that Rob Swindell has for Synchronet Sysops. I did have a user who had   
   trouble connecting to wx1der.dyndns.org -- but when he used   
   tbolt.synchro.net, he got in fine. I'm still scratching my head over   
   that one.   
      
     Unfortunately, we're in a stormy weather pattern...again...which means   
   more downtime. But, we need the rain...fire danger is increasing...but   
   not to the point of cancelling the fireworks displays tomorrow night.
