FWIW, we routinely see dodgy traffic from:

I missed the original thread, but I see a lot of attempts from the 37.8.0.0 - 37.8.63.255 range of IPs.

I use the Fail2Ban set up in FreePBX, together with this ( http://www.coochey.net/?p=61 ) customisation which effectively firewalls off the IPs that attempt to register.

Given the propensity of connect attempts, however, I am considering just blocking the entire range.

It might just be a small group of people scanning the range from a dynamic IP, and the 972 number might just be a test number they have set up to see if it connects, their actual aim is probably financial (e.g. to call a premium rate number that collects the call charges to a front). It's possible someone might be wanting to set up covert, untrackable communications channels, but unlikely in my opinion.
