They don't have to do that. The only peer-to-peer thing really necessary is the two sides of the conversation. You don't need to have a mass of peer-to-peer strangers connected together, this isn't file sharing. There could quite easily be a simple server installed on ISPs, like they (nearly) all have mail servers, that simply managed the locating of their users online (status and IP), then the clients direct connect together. i.e. The server has a very small, comparatively speaking, workload. There's no need for there to be abusing individuals as a server for all and sundry. And it'd be far better for everyone if ISPs ran a few more servers, like VOIP and instant messaging, which weren't client dependent. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
