Hmmm so the MAC address doesn't depend to the HARDWARE MAC address created
by CARD manufacturer?

Strange so this is true maybe I can send from 3 ip addresses for example
some things and I will get the packets from all of them.
do you have any ideea how to use simultaneous EON account for acheaving data
faster?

BTW do you know other ISP like EON?
