KirbyWallace Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Insane since: Dec 2001	posted 02-27-2004 09:59 Seen a few sites that seem to know where I am, geographically, and tailor their banner ads to my specific city (or state, sometimes). I suspect they have scripts that can do a whois lookup for the OrgName and City based on my IP address. Anyone know where I can find something like this? I've given it a couple o' goes, but I think I need to borrow for this one... Kirb

Notice that there's certainly some concurents offering the same kind of services but now you've got a starting point Hope that helps,
