Internet provider in Houston. They've been hitting Neosoft.com with "lptest" output, packet after packet. That's the word from the admin at Neosoft. I know that admin at Usis.com but haven't talked to him yet. Many Sesquinet customers here in Houston and Texas have been hit but finger and mail bombers in the last few days. Several other sites in the US have reported fingers from Usis.com. Notify mbarnes () usis com about the finger attempts. -brett
