Well, we, at least, log every login.  So if someone does something stupid
(which happens often enough), we need the IP-address and the exact time,
and we can trace the user without problems. 

What surprises me, is that it seems like a lot of ISPs don't do this.
I would have thought that it was natural to log; not only for tracing
abuse-cases, but also for support, statistics etc.

It's actually easier to trace spamming made by a dial-up customer than
one with a leased line, since we, with dial-up accounts, can trace
back to _one_ person, not a whole company.
