It is better to filter based on content. Neither method is really accurate, but blocking all of rr.com is a major error. Block the weird encodings, accept anything with "linux", etc.
The rr.com service is expanding across the US. It is a cable service recently bought by AT&T. It serves areas without ISDN or DSL, so the only alternative is a POTS modem. The rr.com service is much cheaper and usually faster than ISDN and DSL.
So, expect more and more people to use the rr.com service. It may grab a very large chunk of the US ISP market. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
