	According to zonealarm, verizon frequently probes my
port 12345. (I call it frequent.) It comments:

> This port is not commonly used by legitimate programs,
> but is commonly used by the NetBus Trojan.  This was
> probably an (unsuccessful) attempt by an intruder to
> locate and connect to NetBus.

	I tried asking what seemed the appropriate verizon
weeks ago whether this were part of routine security. Never
got any answer.

	Anybody know if it's legit? With all its other
shortcomings, verizon is a cock pheasant of a target to get
hacked -- and I can just imagine some adolescent cabal
hugging themselves in glee at managing it . . .
