I know the P3 implemented a CPU ID code...one of the Xtras lists (DOUG or
the Mile High) had something to keep people from accessing that ID.
Sorry for being a 'you don't want to do that' putz. Maybe the CPU ID'll help.

Well, that was my putz-y suggestion. If the client can't be trusted, you
have to make the decision to either code it to some number or just trust
anyway. I'll quit being a putz and suggesting the trust.
