Not sure if it will be a logical option for everyone, but I see pros and cons.
Pros are all hammering has stopped, cons are that I just needed to updated the
port info everywhere. Since my RA only uses the nexus.com ftelnet and the
bbsfinder index it was quick and easy to just update the port for those two
places.
