While you guys are thinking about where to take this stuff at the application level, how about giving some thought to how you might do it at the IP level?
Well, it would make tracing FTP difficult, altho, at least intially, some FTP maintainers might try to block known IP rerouters. Of course, if such rerouters became commonplace, it would eliminate that problem. ... Does anyone how much it costs to get a continuous 56K internet connection? What about a T1? How easy is it to get and set up?
Yes anonymous IP would quickly get block by control freak sys admins. Costs for internet connections vary, but plan to spend about 20K/year. Plus about 10K in startup costs, plus equipment costs. Depending on a lot of factors prices can vary up to 50%. Unless you are on the internet it is very hard to get connected. Most of the companies that sell internet access do business through email. -- Jeremy Porter ----------------- Systems Enginneering ---- Dell Computer Corp. --- jerry@terminus.us.dell.com -------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Support your Second Amendment rights to encryption technology.
