I run ssh internally & to my ISP using keys, no passwords, I thought 
that was more secure :-/ .... I am not supposed to be allowing 
connections from outside my LAN to any of my boxen ....

Tried from shell account @ my ISP, it said nmap not found, maybe need 
root to run, but that was a nogo ....
