   IMO, people that freak out about EOLs are just too ingrained that they    
   should be paying for and/or upgrading to the latest and greatest when    
   they're told to do so.   
      
   How could you possibly be hacked on port 23, running a BBS, aside from    
   having some kind of backdoor in the software you're answering with    
   (which you don't, so it's basically impossible without gaining sysop    
   access)?   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick   
      
   ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
