I think that's probably true for almost all of us -- at the very least anyone running on port 23.

Since these bots are looking for servers to exploit, and don't at all care about BBSs. I'm wondering what level of bot makers even _think_ about BBS servers. Talk about a niche market, and a niche market where, "Yeah, the computer should probably be _at least_ as powerful as a low-end-ish computer from 25 years ago." is a reasonable level of power.
