How about looking for old ISA cards on eBay. Hardly any PC's use ISA now so
there should be a load about that someone will be looking for.

As an example... http://tinyurl.com/ce54j

Obviously there would be a cost involved but given that xPL and UKHA_D
members are distributed all over the UK it might be possible for a
"volunteer" to be found who could collect the cards and recover
the MAC
addresses.

If you could get say 100 cards for a tenner that only works out at 10p per
MAC address :-)
