i believe "vandyke" (makers of CRT for win32, etc) do something like this
when you fill out a form to download SecureCRT (CRT with ssh functionality
built in). Head over to www.vandyke.com and follow the links to download
secureCRT. Once you end up on their SSL server and start filling out the
neat little form to d/l secureCRT, you should notice something near the
bottom that says "Data Verified by CyberVerify" (or something along those
lines), and it seems to work well, as it took me about 10 tries before it
finally accepted all my information and recognized me as being inside the
USA, therefore allowing me to d/l SecureCRT =)
