Subject: strange domain name in phishing email

This was brought up in 2600 years ago, as a way of bypassing content
filters that blocked 2600.com (as long as they only blocked by URL).

Interestingly enough, on the Summer 2000 cover
(http://www.2600.com/covers/fa001.gif), the cell phone displays the
decimal equivalent of 2600.com's IP address, although I think it has
changed since.
