Well, I don't have that and it seems to be working ok. I'll see as time
goes on. There are only 2 rules right now. a DENY for the IP of the
offending person and a PERMIT for everything else. And that seems to be
working. 

If I end up having problems then I'll add PERMITS for
Telnet/binkd/VNC/FTP and then deny everything else.

I think this guy is coming from russia too, but it's weird and not
consistant. Sometimes he'll hit it once, other times he hits it fast
and often. That's when vmodem has a fit.
