The problem with IP address validation is there is no guarantee that DoCoMo
will not new IP blocks in the future. Reverse DNS lookups is one solution
although this will add significantly to application response time.

i-Cab is indeed an excellent browser. Until I can resolve some CSS/DOM
issues with IE, i-MIMIC is unlikely to released for the Mac anytime soon m(_

Curiously enough, access to
>http://www.imodelinks.com/
 itself is easy enough as the redirect for browsers is very slow.... So
one has time to click any link off the front page.

After that, some links are fully accessible from an ordinary browser.

(E.g Japan Times)

Getting in to imode sites is often just a matter of trying. If you are on
a Mac (on which i-Mimic will not run) download iCab (www.icab.de) and
modify the http header settings to something imode like in the prefs.
There are not that many IP ranges for docomo's servers, so I am surprised
IP addresses are not checked more often. (It is an environment variable
after all - fakable possibly, but only with effort).
