There's one here, but it assumes your logon module is written in Baja:
http://web.synchro.net/api/files.ssjs?call=download-file&dir=sbbs_3rd&file=captcha.zip

Waiting for someone to hit ESC in your login module would be just a couple lines of JS code. Something like:

print("Press ESC to login...");
while(bbs.online && console.getkey(K_NOECHO) != KEY_ESC);

(K_NOECHO is defined in sbbsdefs.js and KEY_ESC is defined in key_defs.js)

.... but it sort of begs the question: why? A bot is disconnected pretty quickly with the default configuration, I think it's 30 seconds of no ANSI or other inactivity?
