    Nick,

    That has significantly reduced the amount of rogue Telnet traffic here and NA>because the BBS does not load on blacklisted connections, the daily stats an NA>logs are much more accurate.

    Nice!! I tried to get the CAPTCHA deal working with Synchronet, but
    never could get it to work right. When I ran VADV32, the CAPTCHA
    worked just fine.

    Now, if I see one of these script bots try to logon, when I see one of
    the "flagged user names", I just go ahead and block the IP.

    Gene,

    Nice solution! I just tweaked Synchronet's logon.js (login?) to terminate t GB>connection if the user name was any number of ones that the skids typically GB>use. (root, admin, etc..)

    That normally occurs over here...but I never could get the CAPTCHA
    designed for SBBS to work right.
