Thanks to CrackerJak, I use a program called TCPView. It doesn't keep a log, but it shows you what is connected to each port on your computer. I have been getting slammed by bots on my Amiga board, I found last night 4 lines of port 9600 which is the joinlink port had a Censys bot attached to it. I blocked that domain and today I had 6 bot calls get through. No record of them like you said but at least I am no longer looking at the calls per day and seeing 25+ calls in one day and there is only 2 live people calling. You and me!
