They're not?

May I ask how Unido is using these "unapproved" modems?  (in the prior
messages it was noted that they use Telebits).

You don't have to make a "profit" to profit from an activity.  I have
no problem with people profiting from work - - that's what capitalism is all
about.  

My question is this -- if someone DOES bypass unido, connects to us, and
sends mail to some other site in Germany...... that mail comes here, is
routed to the german host, and arrives via unido -- are they going to
blacklist the "unofficial" site and bounce the mail?  If so, then I would
say that it is in the interests of everyone else to bounce mail to or from
unido -- in other words, turnabout is fair play.  When connectivity becomes 
non-existant for them, they might reconsider their position.

Our offer of a feed, mail or news, to any foreign concern who asks stands.
Email is all that is required to get it set up.
