Re: Correlating an IP address with a phone number

[Pete Herzog <lists () isecom org>]

Of course, if it's like Spain, many ADSL routers we get are 
pre-configured to be administered via web-interface.  That interface 
clearly states the phone number above the fields to login.  It's how 
each router is identified.  That makes finding the number for an IP 
rather easy.

By the way, that wasn't really real knowledge-type information but more 
of a fun fact.
