{bb} How about a NOTftp and NOTsmtp

[Jerry Shenk <jas@dect.com>]

I think there could be some advantage to having the page turn red when some 
protocol IS available.  Then we could put BB on the outside of a firewall 
and test for services on the inside.  I have a number of firewalls that I 
maintain and sometimes I'll open the thing wide open for some kind of 
testing and fully intend to plug it back up but will forget.  It sure would 
be nice to have the BB screen turn red to remind me that something is 
available that's not supposed to be.

Actually, I think it would be pretty easy to do...perhaps as simple as 
preceeding (or following) a service name in bb-hosts with a bang (ie. !ftp).
