Dear sirs:

I'd like to report what appears to be an attack on my machine.

I picked up 6500 of these attempts ending when I dropped outside
connectivity at 8:34 this morning.

This is a denial of service, since all my machine was doing  was logging
these messages.

This attack fully saturated my 33.6 ppp link.
