   NB> How could you possibly be hacked on port 23, running a BBS, aside from    
   NB> having some kind of backdoor in the software you're answering with

   Dunno. When I asked politely this reason (And pointing out I have the source    
   code for the software I run), was just given the Nothingburger replies of   
   "Go look it up why XP sucks" or "Anythings possible, nothing is hackproof".   
      
   One bragged about hanging out online with superhackerz "who take down networks   
   for fun" to which I politely challenged him to go ahead and take my subnet   
   down while the popcorn gets ready. He never replied and vanished months later.
