Yes, I could do the same on my firewall.. Just didn't want to change from the 
default of tcp/23 to the outside world.  There are so many bots scanning IPs 
and ports, they will eventually start hitting the other ports anyway.

There is a way to set my firewall to only allow one tcp/23 per IP at a single 
time.  I have that set to minimize things. 

Never a perfect solution, but cuts down on the garbage.

If Mystic would one day support binary telnet transfers from the shuttle menu, 
all would be perfect.. :)
