Yes it would require that the Node be checked in the Software. What I was responding to was a claim that there is no way of telling where I am connecting from (which I disproved). As to calling a non-German Node, that is always an option.
Yes, I agree. I think the real difference is that they really cannot tell where you are calling from, even though they know where you are connecting.
Caller ID could tell them where you are calling from. They can also use their billing information and user profile information to decide where you live and/or how old you are. I wonder if any of these filters will keep the German prosecutors off their necks, given that they can be bypassed. I feel sorry for them given the situation they are in, and want to kick their butts for just rolling over dead instead of fighting for free access. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz Periwinkle -- Computer Consulting (408)356-8506 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
