I'm curious... Theoricaly.. would there be a way to retreive the mac address? Because if it could be done.. -that- would be ideal... to get something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where is.com would be the real isp ending... (from ppp123.bla.isp.com, we could keep all except the the first part and replace this one by the 'something') and where 'something' would be the resultant of a simple equation on the mac address to get something like 'n789u6nf'... (this letting possible to ban a simpel person, a whole isp, protecting users against DoS, etc...) ... Is that possible? - Alocin
