Udo,
 I wasn't referring to modems negotiating speed and
protocol on a new connection, but the routing of data
packets across the 'net. Routers use a timed update
of all available routers and keep this info in their
routing tables.

Udo,
 There is no need for return packets. The bogus
email address, and IPaddress are there to cover
their tracks. They want you to buy what they are
selling, or to click on the URLs within the email.

I do not think that any Internet connection can be established without
receiving packets. For each packet sent out, there is an acknowledgement
sent back. Fail to react to the handshaking protocol and the connection
is terminated. TCP/IP does not differ from other protocols in that
aspect.

You might be able to setup a server that uses forged sub net addresses,
but the server itself must have a valid address, otherwise it would not
be able to communicate with other servers.

Udo
