    If CodeRedII can only infect Windows 2000 boxes running IIS, why all
    of the CodeRedII infection attempts from what appear to be DSL, cable
    modem and dial-up boxes?
    
    I could see running a small server on a DSL line but are there really
    that many people running IIS on a 56k dial-up.
    
    A related FYI, an SDSL line from Covad/Earthlink will sometimes show
    up in server logs as what appears to be a dial-up address when it's
    resolved (i.e. user-XXXXXXX.dialup.mindspring.com rather than
    user-XXXXXXX.dsl.mindspring.com).
