      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:267/157 5c241431       REPLY: 1:266/625 7ea1e4c9       TZUTC: -0400       On 16 Jun 2025, Scott Street said the following...                SS> Some time ago, I installed connect.mps/x to help the robots from causing        SS> mayhem to my telnet and telnets ports. I also turned on the automatic        SS> blacklisting function in MIS to avoid repeated nonsense from the        SS> Internet. That's been fine, but I really disliked the fact that it        SS> slowed down my SSH connections. So I have added a bit of code to        SS> connect.mps to recognize that I'm coming in SSH (or RLOGIN) and if my        SS> username is valid, the connection get to skip the "Press ESC twice to        SS> continue..."              Scott you might also want to look at the Phenom Productions bot breaker. It       allows SSH access by bypassing it completely .Mystic won't let a SSH       connection through unless the handle and password match.                       |11 Bucko |14- |06Wrong Number Family Of BBS' |07- |03www.wrgnbr.com              ...
