Hi,
Me too have similar kind of question..
how does dial up clients are addressed in Internet,
when they dont have NIC so not MAC address.

I thank you all for those comments about my post on
IP<->MAC,
you all let me know about the previous non-existence
of MAC(ethernet)
I may sound dumb, but, what mechanisms did you have
in lower layers previous to MAC implementations? it
was all done by IP addresses?
Not everything has a MAC address nowadays, but, does
everything (in an IP network) need an IP address?
Saludos.
Regards.
