[NTLUG:Discuss] Simulating M$oft responses to windows XP

[Kenneth Loafman]

I'd like to know the answer anyway.  I've got some machines cut off from 
the net, intentionally, and they still try to "call home to momma".  I 
don't want momma to know what they are doing, so they have to stay off 
the net.  This would make license handling much easier.
