There may be any number of reasons why a static IP is useful on a dial-up. I have several customers who have a penchant for sending mass-forwards of jokes and other debris. If one of them gets caught by HiJack, it may be several hours until I have an opportunity to check the mail server, and anyone else who happened to connect and get the blocked IP would be unable to send mail. By setting a static IP on their RADIUS record, they get caught, but no one else can get those IPs and also be blocked in the interim. These are typical users who are just as likely as anyone else to catch a spam-zombie infection, so I don't want to whitelist them in HiJack. It's also easier to trace reported spam (like from the AOL feedback loop) to a specific user, without having to play detective with RADIUS logs. And it facilitates remote control with pcAnywhere.
