Isnt it illegal to dial up "random" numbers?  I have heard that this recently
(or not so recently) became illegal, due the those annoying automatic dialers 
that solicit things.... ie., recorded calls.  Apparently they can only legally
dial numbers listed in the phone book.  I think they monitor lines for this
kind of activity.
