OTOH woulden't the open proxy be an isp? The proxy is really just a router between two networks. The networks don't need to have the same lower level protocalls... The other differene would be that no one is paying him for the service. But then comes in the free ISPs of the dot com era. Given the political climent in the US and the American Civil Liberities Union being overwhelmed with its currnet case load.....not the best time.
Another option would be to provide a list on a public website stating what ip address requested a given key (and time ofcorse). Tacking a disclamer at the bottom of all pages with a warning about logging and being responsible for inaproate content. And finaly making it obvious that you will block any keys that the police/lawyers request blocked. I don't piticularly like this option, but it seems the safest. I doubt any of us could afford to defend ourselves agenst even a cupple lawsuits. Anyway, long live king bush -- ~Paul M. If the GPL were viral, Windows would be Free Software by now.
