Please grasp the other end of the stick. What I mean is that if you call
the help desk saying 'I have a problem connecting...' the help desk can
ask the number you are trying to connect from, this is matched with a
log of  connections or connection attempts. They can then check the
connection log for reasons the connection has failed or is poor and try
to help you resolve the problem. The number you call for help from is
irrelevant. I'm sure I read this in Dispatches a few years back. 

My point was the tracking and tracing of those posting / downloading
illegal material; AIUI Demon can log which hostname downloads which
(illegal) newsgroups. Should the hostname be setup with a fake identity
then the CLI of the number logging in as that hostname should narrow the
identity of the criminal considerably.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. Apologies for any lack of clarity.
