I got the spam too, but mine had only a list of 137 email addresses
(mine included).  No mention of modems or a 1800 number etc.
I sent a complaint to postmaster@interconnect.com.au and added their
"dataline.net.au" domain to my procmail killfile.

I just rang the 1800 number and got a receptionist who said they bought
a list of email addresses (as you said), she didn't know from whom.
Somebody who does know is supposed to be ringing me back within half
an hour...

Dave.
