	I've noticed some workstation software that requires an access
code based on the Ethernet address to run.  How is this done?  Is it
as simple as coming up with a formula based on the Ethernet address and
storing it somewhere after they type it in, then comparing?
	Is there any code available that shows how to do this?

--Thanks for any help
