I disagree Karl - in our business we get 'fax broadcasts' every day or second 
day and I have found BC Tel singularly UNhelpful in getting these lowlifes off 
the air.

I emphasize when I write to these creeps that under BC Tel Terms of Service a 
constantly busy phone or fax line does NOT meet BC Tel's requirements for 
having a place to contact to get off their fax list - I've even referred some 
of them not to BC Tel Customer Service but BC Tel Security (these are the 
folks who work hand in glove with the police on obscene calls and the like).

So I'm very sorry but I can't agree with you that BC Tel takes the 'fax 
broadcasting' jerks seriously.
