   You dont need a perl script to hide AKA's - it's a config option. Although   
   IIRC, you were playing with a perl script that enhanced the hide AKA option   
   that binkd provides.   
      
   On FSX Hub 3, it's a hub for multiple networks, but when anybody in FSX   
   connects to it, it'll hide the AKA's for the other networks that are not   
   common with the hub. The side effect is, if more than 1 address is in common   
   (and thus presented), then the password must be the same for each, otherwise   
   you get that "invalid password" type message.
