Tony,

TL>As I said, we each have to find the balance for our systems.  FOr me, anonym
TL>FTP downloads are too important to give up.  It's an easy way to distribute
TL>things like infopacks.

  Well, I re-enabled the deal, but so far (knock on wood), I haven't
been slammed by them on the FTP deal. But, I am getting a bunch trying
to do repeated connects without a logon...those go into the ip.can file.

  Also, I figured out how to modify the CAPTCHA deal from Lord
Blackfair, and I created (with a random number program for windows), 96
separate files, with different numbers...that change every 15 minutes
around the clock. Basically, one sequence is only valid for a 15 minute
block during the day, then it doesn't come up again until 24 hours
later.

  That's like the "new bathroom policy"...which dictates that "Too much
time is being spent by employees in the washroom. We will now have
bathroom breaks, according to the first letter of your last name. If you
are unable to go, you'll have to wait until your turn comes up again.
<G> -- you and I will have to wait awhile...especially me. 

Daryl
