A bit of interesting information about teleport. Still not as good as c2 (as I stated), but it's still good to have multiple anonymous account providers around... whether or not they mean to be anonymous. This is from a sysadmin type there (why I deleted the name) who I'll ask about the Majordomo patch. -Allen
Our users can have a P.O. Box as their address (or a false address), whatever they want as their 'real name', and can pay for their accounts by mailing in cash. All they need to do is be close to a phone that isn't theirs for an hour or so.
The can put in a phone# when they set up, then call in from that phone (even if it isn't their own) and have one of us call them back with a few minutes...all set.
Can't get any more anonymous than that.
Of course it *is* against the rules.
The reason that I'd take your name off, yes. Also a reason not to be as trusting... since it is against the rules at teleport, you're more likely to cooperate than Sameer is if the feds or someone want to know who the anonymous person is. Sameer makes quite sure he doesn't _have_ any information to give such types.... including log files of telnet sessions.
True, but a log file without a name, address, phone# or SS# to attach to it is worth *very* little.... :)
