if people used banancom you could force them to download files and you could take out their download directory.   you could also bomb their computer with an Ansi music file and they'd basically have to reboot.

i had a bad user who would attack my system and my users and he used banacom because i recommended it.  he lost my phone number after i nuked his dialing Dir file.
