This didn't occur until recently.. and I suspect it might be buffer overflow
attempts or it might be the recent tty changes (?)

Either way, for some odd reason, I had people trying to telnet into my machine
from England and other places (I'm in the US) although I don't see the
purpose of that because I have nothing exciting on this little dialup machine.

But, here are the messages:

Jan 20 15:47:56 tristessa telnetd[819]: ttloop: read: Connection reset by peer

Jan 20 17:19:04 tristessa telnetd[507]: ttloop: peer died: Invalid or incomplet
e multibyte or wide character
Jan 21 23:34:17 tristessa telnetd[1020]: ttloop: peer died: Invalid or incomple
te multibyte or wide character
