    I have gotten so many scans from t-dialin.net and wanadoo.fr for FTP and 
    everything else under the sun that I have /dev/null'ed all their packets. I 
    sent many messages to their abuse@ and to the upstream, gotten many polite 
    replies about how they will take care of it just as soon as they have a 
    chance!! I find a new /24 every now and again.
    
    Just block them out! I've attached part of my ipchains.
