Subject: [Babase] I've been kicked off Duke's network

Duke has just kicked me off their network for logging in too many
times as part of my conversion from the existing revision
control system.  No one is at the phone number they supply
until sometime Sunday.  This is very annoying.

Your computer's IP address has been quarantined by Duke University's 
Intrusion Prevention System (Tipping Point).
Some activities that could have triggered the quarantine are: excessive 
login attempts, port scanning, or a virus infection.
To regain access to Duke Network, please, contact OIT Service Desk at 
(919) 684-2200
Please, have your public IP before you call. To find out what your 
public IP address is, visit http://www.whatismyip.com/  

Note: To avoid this problem in the future, use the Duke VPN connection. 
Ask the OIT Service Desk to help you install the VPN client once the 
machine is no longer quarantined.

FWIW, my IP address is: 69.17.73.250
