I suspect (based on a scanned copy of a letter from Obex posted on a blog sometime ago) that Obex is simply lurking on the p2p torrent, logging every ip originating from Singapore, then requesting the ISPs to cooperate. That letter even had file names of the torrents downloaded and time. No way to hide from this, I think. -- Regards, Junhao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jmarki.net/ "Oops, what happened?", said Confused Jmarki _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
