The "Do Not Call" Web site -- launched Friday by the Federal Trade Commission -- got so swamped with people tired of being offered a great deal on vinyl siding during dinner that the servers got slammed, making access virtually impossible. At one point Friday, the site was logging 1,000 transactions per second, and 370,000 users had registered by noon. An interesting twist: Some of the confirmation e-mails sent to registrants were blocked by ISPs as spam -- junk e-mails meet junk phone calls!
