if you read what I said you would understand why I referenced IP addresses, which I assumed, aparently incorrectly that is the call they used (becuase it has been a standard call for licensing for at least 2 decades). As for the mac address ok that just makes it simplier to deal with since the app doesnt directly interface with the hardware (the kernel does) it is trivial to set the mac addr to whatevr you want (ifconfig does this with many drivers) which makes it an even more moot point than having to have code to 'play' as the original author wanted. Just gotta watch that you dont have two with the same mac addr in some networks (some systems and network devices dont care enough others completly come unglued). > Wow.
