You could use tcpdump (linux) or some other tool for windows to snoop their connection if they're not on via a secure channel. You could connect to your server and find out who they are and ask them, or check their idle time. It's most likely stuck or forgotten clients but it could also be some of those spambots. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 --- ￭ Synchronet ￭ End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) .
