Not every dialup connection is a single end luser on a win95 box. What about ISDN connections where there's a whole network of real computers and different users (on each computer)? How does the NAS decide which connections to intercept for and which not to? Even if you knew the username, what good will it do you 1000 miles away? Those providers who care can fine the user if you tell them the IP and time of day. Those who don't care won't care if you tell them "I was spammed by [email protected]". ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
