Like I said in an earlier reply, Opennet is not an ISP they are a communication operator, which means they own citynets, so they don't have end customers on their opennet.se host. But looking at the domain names of all the hosts that I am currently blocking (5000+), there are some references to opennet, like .opennet.bredband2.se" or ".karlstad.bredband2.se" anD Karlstad is a Opennet city. So yes, this may very well be a smoking gun as you say. -- Sandman[.net]
