Windows 95 supports TCP/IP just fine. Now, the PPPoE software I can't speak for, but you could always route through a PPPoE supporting *nix box/router.
Moderating trolls and flames as "Offtopic" is Unfair
Suppose I reply to the article "Microsoft buys AOL" with "KILL ALL ".
This IS offtopic. It's also flamebait, and a troll.
In the intrest of being on topic.....
Yes, it is "Bad and wrong to do business with spammers" because you are giving them reason to spam. There's a grey area though. What if you don't respond to the spam directrly, are already patronizing the buisness? You should also be sure that they are not sending email in "good faith" IE another business told them that you had requested te recive such mail (though you probably forgot to request not to, but that isn't the spamvertised business's fault, is it?). Often, spamming services will send mail for a business, falsly claming that they are only sending mail to those that opted in. Look at the headers. Try to contacting the business. Use services like sneakemail that allow you to track where the address the mail came to was obtained. Now, there may also be cases, where a business hires out a spammer to get thier message out to 100 million harvested addresses. If they do that, certinly, keep away from them. They may offer an "affiliate program" which may be used by spammers. Look into how diligently they work to resolve abuse issues.
For those who don't know, MIT has a Class-A network. 18.x.x.x belongs to them. Also, Class Cs are commonly allocated to those who only need a dozen or so.
He also attended hacker convention DefCon 6 in July 1998 with specific instructions from the FBI to "collect PGP encryption keys from conference attendees and try to match people's real names to their keys."
The URL handler in pre.59 of gaim allows commands to be excuted with the privlages of the user if you can get them to click a link, and they're using a manual browser.
Set up a cron job to visit refering sites to see if they link you. If not, delete them. If so, allow. (course, then the spammers will start linking you, and you'll have to come up with something else.
I'm pretty sure they use some form of unix. (When I signed up, I saw the lady's terminal, was running some form of unix, when I asked her if she knew what it was she said "all i know is that it works")
I guess what I'm saying is that all you have to do is treat patient records like you would your root password, follow good security practices, document them, and send them in for approval, and all should be ok.
I wouldn't let anyone at all see my root password. Nobody needs it. If I were admining a server at work, I would try my damnedist not to give out the root password. All the other admins han just have sudo access.
4. A secure web mail contact form - Good for only one-way communication (them sending messages to you), but it works a lot easier than trying to train an AOL User/patient how to use S/MIME. Prevents them from broadcasting to the Internet their SSN, and health problems in clear text.
The ideal way to do this is.....
Please provide a password. This password will be required to read our response, so don't forget it. If you have a PGP public key, you can use that instead. (or pick one for them, and a corrospondnace id)
Then, when you reply, you send them a link to an ssl page that asks for thier password, and displays the message for them.

Hacked my ass. This is an excuse to use addresses that they harvested.

In other words, matching handles with real names.
