[Babase] Duke network shenanigans

Hi,

FYI.

Papio has gotten very rude of late; my ssh sessions are
regularly disconnected which trashes my perpetual
emacs sessions.  I suspect the Duke firewall.

I will try the stupid kludge of connecting through
an OpenVPN session.  If that does not work I will
ask you to ask Duke what port(s) can be used to avoid
this behavior and ask that those be opened to papio
so we can avoid this.

Our backup server is expecting to maintain a perpetual
OpenVPN VPN connection to papio and disconnection/banning
on frequent re-connection will surely break things.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.

Regards,
