[ic] IC Front End for International Support

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Barry Treahy, Jr.)]

How many of you folks have sites that operate internationally and need 
to know the location of the visitor before the IC session can accurately 
start?

I would be interested in the various methods used to handle this; 
perhaps from the obvious FEDEX.com style of choosing your country to 
something a little more automated and less 'spoof' proof like operating 
off the whois information for the visiting IP.  

For us, knowing if the visitor is from North America, the UK, or 
elsewhere but the first two creates a situation where we need to handle 
their pricing, taxation, and shipping/handling differently.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts on this...

Regards,

Barry
