Hi Swerve,

I think you might be missing something here.  Out in BC, the phone book
specifies this:

Unsolicited Fax Calls
======================
Unsolicited fax calls for the purposes of solicitation are permitted with
the following conditions:
o The name, address, telephone number and fax number of the originator mus
be identified, as well as the person on whose behalf the call is made.
o Sequential dialing is not permitted. Customers can request to be removed
from a fax calling list by contacting the originator.  The originator has
7 days from the date of the request to comply.  Requests remain active for
three years.

This pretty much goes along with what the CRTC says at:
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/faqs.htm#Q25
and
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/T22.HTM

Whoever told you that spam faxing was legal is wrong.  It has restrictions
including DNC lists.
