   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!!!!
