I also am hacked off at this outfit, as this is the umpteenth advertisment that we have received. I have an idea, however. They give an 800 number to call to make an appointment to be brow-beaten by one of their salespeople. I am going to call this number to let them know of my displeasure with their marketing gambet, then set up a background shell to use the ACU on this machine to call that 800 number ... every 10 minutes. Does anyone already have such a shell procedure (so I don't need to spend too much time inventing and testing)? Are there any legal ramifications that I should be aware of before starting this process into execution? Rich Strebendt ...!ihnp4!ihuxn!res
