Re: CAPTCHA mod or something like that

Hi,
does anyone know of a mod that provides a CAPTCHA or something like that, at least like 'press Esc twice to continue'?
I've seen such 'pre-login' checks at some Mystic BBSes and think they're nice :)
There's one here, but it assumes your logon module is written in Baja:
http://web.synchro.net/api/files.ssjs?call=download-file&dir=sbbs_3rd&file=captcha.zip
Waiting for someone to hit ESC in your login module would be just a couple lines of JS code. Something like:
print("Press ESC to login...");
while(bbs.online && console.getkey(K_NOECHO) != KEY_ESC);
(K_NOECHO is defined in sbbsdefs.js and KEY_ESC is defined in key_defs.js)
... but it sort of begs the question: why? A bot is disconnected pretty quickly with the default configuration, I think it's 30 seconds of no ANSI or other inactivity?
