Ahoy, > If you want to get an indication of how many people, and sometimes even the identities of the people or organizations, who are doing research in your particular field, simply publish your work, and then read the logs on your computer firewall. You will find the addresses of the computers that are trying to gain access to your computer. In many cases, you can trace the numerical addresses back directly to the registered owners of those addresses. It was a hobby of mine for quite some time, and I must say, it was fascinating.
Yes. Also note how many of them are registered in the norther Virginia area, presumably to certain "contractors". For instance, why do computers registered to Marriott subsidiaries keep wanting to get into my computer? 150 attempts one month. I don't think it has anything to do with hotel management. The scary thing is, who own's the one's that cannot be tracked? Even scarier is now that K_ _ ke has signed back onto vortex from a Euro ISP, the unauthorized attempts will probably increase ;-) Jones
