One cannot assume that because there are "hits" (say, within 15 minutes) between an entrants log and local packet-cluster (tm) callouts, that the entrant is cheating by using packet.
Basic research done several years ago showed an entrant who was known (100%) to not be using packet could still have a hit rate with packet cluster callouts of over 25% (for new mults).
That having been said, there are other methods, used very successfully, to "catch" packet cheaters. Clearly, I don't plan on making them public. :-)
One of the problems with trying to "link" callouts to log entries is that there are so many callouts on packet that it is very tough NOT to have a hit in your log. Seems like some folks spot everything all the time.
