Peter da Silva talks about dealing with junk phone calls through use of ISDN, noting that it should prevent the activity happening in the first place, rather than stopping it once it happens, which isn't as good a solution. The phone network was never meant to give the called person direct id on the person calling. Same thing with letters: I don't have to show ID to be granted the right to mail something. Sure, I can mail nasty things to people, but I still think it's nice for people to be able to mail me stuff without worrying whether I tell anybody who they are. (I publish a hacker-magazine in Holland, so this does come in handy). Rop Gonggrijp
