The present invention provides an anti-theft security method and system for portable electronic devices. This invention shifts the locking step from the external security device that engages the electronic device to the actual electronic device. This system comprises a portable electronic device having a opening therein for the purpose of engaging a securing device that will security the electronic device to some stationary object such as a desk. The securing device is typically a cable. This cable has one end that engages the electronic device through the opening the electronic device. Once engaged, a shutter activated by the electronic device reconfigures the opening in the electronic device to prevent the disengagement of the cable from the electronic device.

A mechanism for multiple instant messaging (IM) sessions associated with a single user name is provided. A frontend server receives user login requests and routes the instant messaging system to a back-end server. Each login associated with a particular user name is routed to the same backend server (or IM host). Messages targeted to a recipient having a plurality of active IM sessions are broadcast to all the active sessions. Messages targeted to recipients having a single IM session are unicast.

A plurality of data packets encoded according to a first protocol are received which encapsulate data encoded according to a second protocol. A first source address is extracted from the packets according to the first protocol, it is determined whether or not the first source address is a substantial duplicate of a known assigned address. If it is a duplicate, a second source address is extracted from the encapsulated data according to the second protocol, and the first source address and said second source address are provided in an enhanced error log so that a system administrator may correct the duplicate assigned address. Enhanced embodiments of the invention included analysis of data encapsulated by a third, fourth and subsequent protocols, and automatic determination of each protocol encoding format.

A system and method for managing parallel SCSI device functionality is presented. A user sends a request to a vendor whereby the request corresponds to the user changing the functionality of one of the user's SCSI devices. The vendor generates and sends a key that includes a password and a functionality value to the user. The user extracts the password, extracts the functionality value, and includes them in a command descriptor block. The user includes the command descriptor block in a SCSI command, and sends the SCSI command to the user's SCSI device whereupon the SCSI device validates the password and reconfigures itself based upon the functionality value. The SCSI device returns a message to the user indicating whether the reconfiguring process was successful. In turn, the user forwards the message to the vendor so the vendor may bill the user accordingly.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods of correlating data relating to an item of mail, such as barcode information, with the associated item of mail. This allows the item of mail to be sorted using the data relating to the item of mail. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for correlating an item of mail, subject to sorting by a mail sorter, with data, stored by a processing unit, relating to the item of mail. The method comprises acts of associating the item of mail with a first counter value, associating the data with a second counter value, and corresponding the first counter value with the second counter value to correlate the data with the item of mail.
