Does anybody in netland know of a way to disable a dial-in port after some
number of BADDIALUPs have occurred.  (No, I don't have the source to
login).

What I'm looking for is a way of logging DIALUP and BADDIALUP messages to
a disk file looking for consecutive BADDIALUP attempts.  When n
consecutive BADDIALUP attempts occur I'd like to disable the port for some
number of minutes.

I can hack contool to do something like this but especially want this
feature when nobody is logged in at the console.  Anybody hear of
something like this?
