It's been suggested that there are legitimate uses for autodialing an
entire exchange (eg. finding bbs's).  I disagree, and I expect the phone
company would too.  This is a step worse than telemarketing, since you're
annoying several hundred people just to find a lost number.  It seems to
me this is at least unethical and probably illegal.
