Greetings all,

Faced with our deployment of ADSL, we're going to need some reliable way
of getting the MAC address of user's computer so we can configure them
for DHCP.  Having the users follow instructions and type in 6 pairs of
hexadecimal numbers accurately would be a nightmare.

What we'd like is for users to run a script that probes the MAC
address (and perhaps other useful info like processor type, RAM, etc.)
and delivers the results to us.  Does anyone have or know of such a
script for Windows and Mac?

Thanks,
Omar
