I am not nearly getting *that* much spam but enough to start thinking about a solution. Spam gets sent from mailservers that can be tracked by original ip number in headers right? replyto and senders address are usually fake from spammers right? What if you created a whitelist that connects ip numbers and the portion behind the @? preferably with an working abuse@xx.yy too. Anyone not on the whitelist will be banned from the ISP Next you also have a blacklist banning specific users if they spam. I suspect the reason ISP's are not very helpful in promoting this scheme is that mailinglists are banned by default too since the mail does not originate from an IP range that is registered to the DNS.

Hi, New at linux but the 3com 531 is an isdn router with an ethernet interface. There is also an async management port with which you can configure the beast. If you can configure the lan side with a valid ip address you can then telnet to it. So, imho no drivers needed. Regards, Silverbird
