Kinda fun to see who is hacking on you at any given time... and writing little perl honeypots to screw with their little script kiddie minds. - jim On Sat, 08 Feb 2003 09:44:26 -0800 Steve Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm (finally) going to be getting DSL through Nevada Bell and want to > get a router so I can connect the 3 other computers I have to access the > internet.
