Subj : Small improvement to 'connect.mps'

Some time ago, I installed connect.mps/x to help the robots from causing mayhem to my telnet and telnets ports.  I also turned on the automatic blacklisting function in MIS to avoid repeated nonsense from the Internet.  That's been fine, but I really disliked the fact that it slowed down my SSH connections.  So I have added a bit of code to connect.mps to recognize that I'm coming in SSH (or RLOGIN) and if my username is valid, the connection get to skip the "Press ESC twice to continue..."

I added 4 lines:
After the first Begin statement:
  If ((ServerType=1) or (ServerType=2)) and (UserLoginName<>'') and (UserLoginPW<>'') and IsUser(UserLoginName) Then Being
    Break;
  End Else
 ... (indent the rest of the function one level

  End;

End. //original function end


I hope this helps someone.
