I, too, am a security consultant. I have found two things about ISPs: 1) nearly all ISPs have terms in their use contracts that are intended to stop hackers, but actually stop us security consultants. 2) of those, nearly all are happy to renegotiate their use contracts. You just have to say "that's what I do for a living", and they'll understand. In fact, a great deal of ISPs are very pleased when they find out that one of their potential customers is a security consultant, and will go out of their way to attract his business. If @home is one of those few who won't bend, then I suggest you choose a different ISP: they're easy to find, even in the US midwest. -- Jon Paul Nollmann ne' Darren Senn sinster () balltech net Unsolicited commercial email will be archived at $1/byte/day.
