My apologies if this strays off topic, but I wanted to share my recent experience.

We had a collocation customer come in and request a t1 of pots lines for their servers, then complaints that their "security" software wasn't working because of our RPF checks. As it turns out they were dialing up to a local isp, and sending bulk email using our bandwidth, but the dial-up's ip.... And receiving the TCP ack on the dial up.

Its not new. In fact, its so not new, I think those involved could quite happily believe its very clever. :) Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "You don't have a TV? Then what's <adrian@creative.net.au> all your furniture pointing at?"
