They're not? May I ask how Unido is using these "unapproved" modems? (in the prior messages it was noted that they use Telebits). You don't have to make a "profit" to profit from an activity. I have no problem with people profiting from work - - that's what capitalism is all about. My question is this -- if someone DOES bypass unido, connects to us, and sends mail to some other site in Germany...... that mail comes here, is routed to the german host, and arrives via unido -- are they going to blacklist the "unofficial" site and bounce the mail? If so, then I would say that it is in the interests of everyone else to bounce mail to or from unido -- in other words, turnabout is fair play. When connectivity becomes non-existant for them, they might reconsider their position. Our offer of a feed, mail or news, to any foreign concern who asks stands. Email is all that is required to get it set up. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, !ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 312 566-8911], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
