BTW, Alexis Rosen at Panix could use some help tracking down the person(s) attacking his machines -- he's more or less being shut down by this. He's having some trouble finding the right person at Sprint (one of his two providers) to talk to. If the right person could get in touch with me, I'll hook the two of you up. Hopefully, with a little inter-provider cooperation, the guy will get caught and arrested soon. "Perry E.
