Please elaborate on what you mean by "coerced into using it via packet
manipulation.

First, what is the "packet" that is being manipulated in this context?
Is it a BBS term?  Is it a TCP/IP packet?  Is it something else?

Second, what sort of coercion would be required?  What would it be
changed from?  What would it be changed to?
