ISP Information:
Packet InterNet Groper. An Internet utility used to check the connection with another site. It repeatedly bounces a signal off the remote site and shows you how long it took to complete the round trip each time. If you get no returns at all, the site is either down or unreachable. If only a portion of the signals are returned, it indicates some trouble with the connection that will slow down performance. You can run PING

The potential isunlimited.I mean what would YOU do if you got call at 3:00am from some idiotinsisting that he wants to order a pizza, and caller ID said it wasfrom the whitehouse ...People just don't know how easy it is to spoof caller ID if ya got ISDN.ANI is another matter, of course.
