Once upon a time, I remember that there used to be a server to which one could telnet and get the real identity of someone using an email account. I thought that it was rs.internic.net but this is clearly not so. I know it existed because I used it a few times to track down one person who was disrupting the lists with personal attacks and abuse using several different different accounts and identities. I would check all new subscribers and sure enough, names like "[log in to unmask]" and "[log in to unmask]" etc., all turned out to be the same guy. I now have a need for that search service again, but I cannot find where it exists. Does any equivalent exist at any accessible and free (no-fee) site? -- Jan George Frajkor _!_ School of Journalism, Carleton Univ. --!-- 1125 Colonel By Drive | Ottawa, Ontario /^\ Canada K1S 5B6 /^\ /^\ [log in to unmask] / [log in to unmask] o: 613 520-7404 fax: 613 520-6690 h: 613 563-4534
