Note, of course, there are valid reasons to do this spoofing. Just as one example (which I was involved in...) People doing food deliveries for "Meals on Wheels" and similars. When the driver is calling five minutes away, it makes much more sense to "send" the main office number... But yeah, lots of assholes still get through. -- _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]
