I agree 100%.  No-one should authenticate on the "From" field; I'll
bring this issue up on several lists where Verizon-droids should be
hanging out, and see if I can get any information as to their
rationale.  Or maybe, hopefully, even change some minds <smile>.

But I can see why if they'd do it from dialup they'd use the same
rationale to do it from DSL without static IP.  Dumb, but at least
consistent <wry grin>.
