They should be fining the telcos, they're making a lot of money on these calls. And if you believe otherwise (e.g., that it's like email spam) you've been duped by telco PR. Unlike spam when was the last time a telco failed to bill you for a billable phone call? Never. They know exactly who is using their system. And they get paid for it. And these junk callers are making millions of calls per hour when they're active. The entire telco infrastructure has been described as a billing system with some added voice features. Try devising a box which makes millions of voice calls per hour and see how long it takes before you're stopped dead until you agree to pay the telcos for those calls, or get arrested. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
