Having worked at an ISP, I would like to note they might be appreciative depending on the circumstances. If the IP is obviously a DSL or dialup address (check the reverse DNS), they probably get deluged with so many that it's hard for them to actually take action on them (although many ISPs do try). If the IP looks to be an actual server (whether it's the ISP's or a colocation client of theirs), they will most likely be appreciative of the notice. -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks
