[BC] ANI Faking

[Andy Green (Listservers)]

We are constantly coming up against problems communicating with US based
businesses who have blocked a range of IP addresses from outside the US,
many times I have had to resort to fax or phone, but oftentimes, if there is
an alternative, they lose the business. 

I do sometimes feel that many of you guys fee that we in Europe are out in
the boondocks, and living in theme park!!

It is true that there are some countries in the world which are notorious
for spam etc, but certainly it is folly to block all of Europe!

One thing that a client of mine requested is a router to block all IP
addresses from China.  I Googled that, and it apparently can be done.
Perhaps as outside North America based calling and hacking becomes more
pronounced, this will become more common. Right now I'm working with a
salesperson at a router manufacturer to see if this is easily done.

Some years ago Verizon blocked everything from a whole Eastern 
European country's IP addresses.  It seriously affected some of their 
business customers. It took days, maybe weeks, for them to relent.
