Ok, I may be wrong here, my head hasnt been on right for a while....
however, I was under the impression that identd was there to provide
information from services like said edmonton-freenet...
and from my knowledge it is a real internet connection, its just not
using pppd, slipd, or bootpd, or whatever, anyways....
the administration at the freenet might have taken some security
measures and essentially disabled the identd stuff, and have it
just return an error all the time...
well just my $0.005 on this.... flame me if you wish :P
