Has it been a while since you've been on a resnet? They're bad, but most all "ResNet's" I know of are now implementing some sort of MAC/DHCP combo at the very least. That might have been true a couple years ago but recent DMCA notices and Worm activity have /forced/ (often by their upstream) ResNet's to clean up their act. I don't think our ResNet is a shining example of excellence by any stretch but they know who is registered behind each port/ip/mac address which gives you a pretty good idea of who is on your network. I won't comment on what leaves the ResNet on port 25 and what leaves the network with no prayer of ever routing back. *cough* That's a whole 'nother issue for them to deal with, and at some point soon, I think they will. -davidu (speaking only for himself) ---------------------------------------------------- David A.
