Indeed! :)

I too called DA and they found no listing for either firm.

Ultimately, if these people keep calling, I expect what I will do is
present NY Tel with a copy of the certified receipt, and show that I
have made more than reasonable efforts to notify them (the 900/540
people) that they are annoying me.

Then (I hope!), NY Tel will be more helpful in finding out the local
guy with the recorded solicitation machine, who is the actual source
of my problem.

However, it has been three weeks now, and I haven't received a call on
ANY of my lines, so maybe Mr. Eagleton actually picked up his
mail ... and is finding a new mailbox so he can start calling again! :)
