Well, to set things straight: It ain't my network. My server is located
there; so it's my ISP to blame really. I have pointed out that they
should install a firewall, as they have none.

Yup, that right: they have no protection whatsoever.

I think I'll let them hire me!

btw: They're smurfing and fraggling us (trem).

Greetings,
