You know the more you talk, the more I am starting to agree with you.. For the few calls I get from overseas, it might be worth the cutting off of everyone except for a few. I understand VPN's are still an issue but hey a few here and there are ok. Plus it will help my CNet Amiga board because TelnetD which emulates a modem, can get overrun by bots and just ignore all other incoming until it is rebooted.. Gonna start playing around with all this info.. :) Appreciate it...
