IMO, people that freak out about EOLs are just too ingrained that they 
should be paying for and/or upgrading to the latest and greatest when 
they're told to do so.

How could you possibly be hacked on port 23, running a BBS, aside from 
having some kind of backdoor in the software you're answering with 
(which you don't, so it's basically impossible without gaining sysop 
access)?

Regards,
Nick
