Yes. But for the linux client i.e. linc-daemon there is no need to
contact the ISP and ask them to reset the MAC. The client sends
whatever MAC you tell it to in the login packet. As for windoze
clients, well newer NICs have an option to specify the network address.
You put in your old NIC's MAC in there and you're set ;)
Hmmm, this was possible for quite a few years. I remember seeing this
option in Windows 95.
