While I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have had a description of the same from my cable operator. Seems that for every user, 24online notes down the username , password, ethernet card MAC address etc. When you login using their client, this MAC address is sent along with your username and password to the server. Only if all of them match are you allowed to use the service. My operator has turned it off because he wants some of his subscribers to login from other machines, because every user has its own bandwidth usage data that they collect and charge for. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya Mindframe Software Work: sandip @ mindsw.com, http://www.mindsw.com Play: sandipb @ bigfoot.com, http://www.sandipb.net ----------------------------------------------- ================================================ To subscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe in subject header To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header Archives are available at http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd%40wpaa.org =================================================
