I don;t really have a decent answer to either of these activities if I assume that you want to keep the (l)user that does such things. If you don't mind them going to the other ISP, then point out that certain actions are prohibited by the AUP (You do have one in place, don't you?) and that you will terminate their accounts if they do it again.... Let them learn some maturity... John (very little patience today...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
