Subj : Crazy BBS connections

I'm finally in a place where I can setup a new board -- probably will just be for my own benefit and the fun of doing it.  I'm quite surprised at the barrage of connections I started getting right out of the gate!  I'm getting telnet and ssh connections almost constantly, about 3-5 a minute if not more.  Trying randon usernames and such.  I guess this is normal now'days?  I'm running sync at home over my broadband connection, so I guess it's people just scanning ports and ip's.

Anyway just curious if this is quite common ... I remember it being so last time I ran a telnet board 15+ years ago, but not to this degree.
Thanks- Sam
