On the bright side, when double-checking the firewall on my home cable
modem setup, it appears that Comcast here in the SF Bay Area has
started filtering out incoming port 135 SYN packets -- they get
dropped before they hit my firewall.  Thanks, Comcast!

On the not so bright side, I'm getting a steady stream of port 135
SYNs from my fellow Comcast customers (i.e., presumably on my side
of Comcast's filters), which may mean the horses have mostly already
left the barn.
