it would be trivial for someone to write a program to ensure they are never inactive based on data, and in fact with the proliferation of file swapping there is surely activity on some of those otherwise idle nodes. Just lurking on irc causes traffic. As such they cant tell. The same way voip providers cant tell if the sip client didnt hang up properly and many disconnect after 4 hours (even some cell carriers do this). I however have a problem with thge use of the word 'unlimited' when it is clear ther are limits however buried in user agreements they may be (or undisclosed as in the case of some mobile and voip providers). Tmobile for example does not state they disconnect at 3 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Broadvoice doesnt declare they terminate at exactly 4 hours (or less or more depends if their equipment is actually working but it generally works out to 4 hours on the nose). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
