My @Home cable-modem connected host is constantly scanned for 
Back Orifice and
several common Linux vulnerabilities (imap, sunrpc). I also 
get random probes
for telnet and ftp servers. I see several probes per day, 
about 50% from other
@Home customers, and the rest from outside.

One yahoo probes me twice per day, at random times, on the 
PC/Anywhere port
(5632).

Probably the same one that started probing me about twice a day in June of
98.  He started with udp/22 and then graduated to udp/5632.

And I'm not even on the @Home network.  He was though.  

BTW, after nearly a year of probes every day he gave up at the end of
February '99.
