Hey, I gotta sort of a technical question here, and I was wonderin' if
y'all could help...so here goes....

We have a 40-Mac PhoneNet network which works quite nicely.  Every so often,
we run checks to make sure we ain't getting any overrun errors or the like, but
it's hard for us to pin down where the errors are occurring because we 
don't know which machine is sending the packets.  You see, th users, being
the creative people that they are, change them from their more identifiable
names.

Now, I tried locking the box so that it can't be edited, but some of our
more creative users can just as easily unlock it.  It would seem that I
need to delve into the code of the Chooser to prevent this from happening.

This is my problem.  I'm not sufficiently knowledgable enough to even where
to begin looking.  Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Have a nice day!
