SSH to the VAX is just painful (imo)... I can't imagine what is like on a
PDP/RSX ?!?

Put your telnet on a non-standard port. All the bots and scripts are
hardwired to standard port numbers.
I only open ssh, and I use a non-standard port number. I basically
never get any break in attempts. Sure, if somebody did a port scan they
could find it, but none of the bots do that and the human hackers who might
be smart enough to figure it out are also smart enough not to care about my
machines.
I also only permit public/private key authentication with external ssh
connections, so trying to guess passwords is a non-starter.
BTW, do you have ssh for RSX too??
