   As I have already stated many times before, an IP number *IS* a valid phone
number in the 21st century -- when most of the communications are made not via
20th century copper wires but mostly by fiber.

   Your binkd mailer dials the IP number each time it makes a connection, only
you don't make it pulsating numbers via an outdated relay equipped telephone
station, you make it within milliseconds via the internet.
