     Maybe you and Scott have some ideas about the source of the Garage Doors

     If you go to http://download.cnet.com/ and search "telnet", you'll see a
bunch of telnet software you can download. One freeware program is DNScape, a
program designed for tracking down spammers.

     Using DNScape, I looked for both which.net and ntli.net . Here are the
results:

     Based upon the above, where is the best place (or places) to email abuse
complaints?
