I would complain to the FCC. Presumably, the customer is dialing the number with their modem, and the modem isn't responding the the message "do you want to busy connect for 75 cents". Yet they are getting the busy connect service and presumably are charged the 75 cents to "busy connect" without their approval.
Nahh... I doubt it. You'd hope that they default to NOT doing it unless people specifically asked for it to be done... Ameritech offers the same service, and I've only been charged for the times I've actually used the feature. If I hang up, I don't get charged. I have to believe BellSouth works the same way, although I could be wrong. -- Steve Sobol sjsobol () nacs net (AKA support () nacs net and abuse () nacs net) "Can you look out the window, without your shadow getting in the way" --Sarah McLachlan - "Building a Mystery"
