   When I had my SSH set to the standard port, it got hammered the hardest --   
   a lot more than the telnet port.  My telnet port is still standard and yes,   
   it does get hit pretty regular, but not usually enough to tie all the nodes up   
   like the SSH port did.   
      
   Yes, that is the new normal.  With synchronet, it will put temp bands on   
   IPAs if you get too many hits from the same one, and you can add IPAs or   
   ranges into the ip-silent.can file if you notice some that are nothing but   
   trouble makers.  That has helped a lot here.
