Never seen it before. I can only see it in the headers.) <rant> No it isn´t, *good* ISPs deliver what you intend them to deliver: IP. While it´s considerably easy to get the access concentrators to do all kind of funky stuff (on-the-fly configurable stateful firewalls, really *weird* QoS, NAT, port redirection, non-[guess,script]able portals, the feature lists are _long_, see http://www.nortelnetworks.com/products/03/products/5000.html for an example) I would only accept a service where I have to explicitly state what features (and with them: problems) I want to have. It´s cleaner to do your billing based on bandwidth consumption or data volume, but geez, that´s not good for marketing :/ </rant> just my 0.02 $, &rw -- / Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \ KPNQwest/AT tech staff | Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
