He's using parseInt() on the user.connection property, which should either be a
terminal-protocol string (e.g. "Telnet", "Rlogin", "SSH") or a modem DCE
(connect) rate (e.g. "28800"). There should not ever be an IP address or a
phone number in the user.connection property.

Or maybe I missed this other use of parseInt()?
