Poor old Chris, too stupid to even noticed that it was someone elses
advert, not mine. Have fun proving who did actually send the advert too.

CM> THEY seem to think they can as they called
CM> me back about 1 hour after I sent the fax.

Whoopy bloody do. I say again, 'You might like to list examples
of normal modem users ever fined, let alone a large one'

And the question of the wording of advertisements is completely
and utterly separate from the question of connecting a non Austel
approved modem to the phone system too. There have indeed been
examples of modem sellers being leant on to change their ads. Pity
that says nothing useful at all about normal modem users fined for using
a non approved modem on the phone system. Let alone a jail sentence.

You arent doing very well at all are you Chris ?
