I take it that telnetnode.sh (re)starts your bbbsd daemon? I don't recall,
does BBBS create any bsy files that would prevent bbbsd from reloading
until any
such files were taken care of?

I have tightened down iptables to limit the multiple telnet attempts. Which
has helped but I still occasionally run out of available nodes. Even though
the busy nodes are cleared more quickly now.
