It's entirely possible. I've noticed I'm getting scanned by different
boxen on the Mediaone/AT&T network (they're checking open ports and even
making sure sendmail doesn't relay mail), and more frequently.

Are you always getting a 24.xxx.xxx.xxx address, or do you find yourself
getting a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx (adapter default) address? You might try
powering the modem on and off to clear things up, even if you _do_ have
block synch.
