After all, you didn't *really* care that the IP was assigned to a computer belonging to Herman Munster, 1313 Mockingbird Lane. What you actually *wanted* was for somebody (preferably Covad) to hand Herman a clue.
Yeah. I miss the days that you could fix Covad problems by calling Brent, or by sending the attacker a Ping of Death :-) In practice, of course, the chances are extremely high that the attacker is a zombie pc whose owner is not aware that it's infected, and they really need their ISP to quarantine them somewhere until they can get it fixed. -- ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far. And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
