Did I said Nomadix has the final solution and out of the box, readily
available? Of course you are 100% right ;-)) Sorry, I missed a chapter in my
letter.

The "real" question: Why is readily available technology not implemented
accordingly, and certain ISP do still provide those "free" dial-up?

And yes, dial-up is for me more then PPP...compare the suggested reverse
lookup naming schemes!

I don't think you are working for or at a real ISP. You don't seem to have a
clue how things work there (or don't).

There is no need for a Nomadix whatever because you don't see the
(Ethernet) MAC address anyway on dial-up links. PPPs IPCP is taking care of
the IP address assignments. Neither is DHCP a problem in this context. If
you want to do something, divert outgoing port 25 through your mailserver.
Works on Cisco's and other router systems (via policy-routing). Can also be
done on Linux und FreeBSD.

Next use either connection limiting features (such as FreeBSD ipfw2) or
something like (or work-alike) Fredy's Dial-SPAM-Block system. Either one
works very well for the purpose of defeating spam via free-dials.

In case someone doesn't know to implement that, I'm happy to consult you in
that matter (I give you instant-clue and you give me instant- money).
