Julf's anon.penet.fi remailer is serious; he's done a lot of work to get a private machine, payng for a reasonably expensive 64kbps line himself, and has it located somewhere that only 3 people know.
How can this be? What about the people who operate his connection point to the net? Wouldn't they know where his machine is located? What is the physical embodiment of his 64kbps line? Can't that line be traced to its terminus?
That started me down an interesting line of thought... You can get spread spectrum radio/data modems that do 256Kbits/sec (Cylink) and can go up to 30 Miles. It is unlicensed in the US because it is limited to .8watts (I think). I believe 10 miles is the limit with an omnidirectional antenna. Spread spectrum should be pretty hard to triangulate on. Remember that the technology came from unjammable military radios. I think you'd have to have a fairly sophisticated scanner to even pick it up. Using a creative arrangement, this could provide a good cover for physical location. (If you could get the server in the back of a city bus or something...)
