One of my tasks is to get my network fixed to get incoming packets. Outgoing
still works. One obstacle is that I have to get a new machine since mine is
starting to give up the ghost. It's been running non-stop for more than ten
years. I've just started getting lots of new users too which is
inspirational. One weird anomoly is that I'm getting blasted by bots,
sniffers etc., every second. I discovered one machine which had a California
Comcast IP which I determined was a "zombie". I sent the info to
abuse@comcast.net and they nuked it in a day yet, I have a new one from
T-Mobile. They are all zombies in that the users aren't aware that they have
malware which is blasting the networks with clutter. I'm afraid that I will
have to have a more complicated port # too which is a hassle since you have
to let users know in advance. Then I have to let Dave P. know at The BBS
Connection so the changes are posted. Oh well, I am shopping for a good
refurb now.
