Maybe true, but if they pull the plug how many thousands are you willing to spend to fight them over this? What it gets down to, whether it is legal or not, they hold all the cards, and can disconnect you for any violation as they define it, and as they interpret their own legal ramblings. It is their hand on the switch. > Another alternative is to get in touch with other users of the service > who are dissatisfied with the TOS and excert group pressure on the > company.

Well, BellSouth (US) has something like 1.5 million (dialup + DSL) customers, so I doubt I'll find 150,000. Maybe 5 or 10 though...if I'm lucky :) -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
