Apparently it works on a group of matching numbers. My understanding is that although a modem user is assigned a diferent IP number every time, the numbers are close together. For a particular user the IP number assigned is usually from within the same group. So for that particular user all the IP numbers from within that group would be blocked.
I think that is how it works.
There is a posibility that some one else may end up with a blocked IP number but the chances that they would be a user of this board are slim.
