I just thought of this, how hard would it be to program up a small program, that would run on home a/c power when the empeg gets an ip address. It would try and connect a database server, and post its ip address.
This way, if the empeg gets stolen, and the theft by chance plugs it into the net. We could track his ip address. I just thought of this, and i thought i was a good idea. I would be happy to host the database if someone were to create the program.
