I can just tell from my experience while fighting spam, and I have to note
as well, that compuserve and aol are note among the most responding players
in this field. If I would have to give a rating on responsivenes of the big
american dial-in providers I would rate them as follows:

1. Pacbell (pbi.com)
2. Netcom
3. UUnet
4. worldnet
5. aol
6. compuserve

BTW, on what are you tripping ? Portscanners, fake email, known holes in
sendmail, apache, phf ?
