Hey, Laurie ! Guess What ? The CRTC gave BCTel some _more_ teeth......
Check-out the following capulization, hot "off the wire" from CP, Ottawa:
"CRTC has approved proposals yesterday to limit the hours during which
 uninvited fax advertising can be sent.
 Unsolicited advertising by fax will be allowed between 9AM and 9:30PM
 from Monday to Friday, and 10AM to 6PM on Saturday and Sundays in areas
 served by Bell Canada and BCTel.
 Advertisers will also have to comply within seven days with a consumer's
 request not to be faxed again, down from the current 30 days."
 
Spread this news around !

One of the "ideas" behind the popularity of many of today's fax machines
is that of unattended receiving of messages. It's unfortunate that this
feature has been so badly abused that many of us do end-up doing exactly
what you're doing: turning the thing "off" after hours.
As I've already told Dick, I do have a "problem" with fax owners that
like to play "vigilante". His response ? A multi-multi-liner that was so
outdated as to be good only with Thomas Jefferson......! It was a
"good read" though...just not updated...

Got one better going for me here: continuous auto monitoring of all
calls "in", providing a daily hard-copy record if desired. Call modes
are clearly indicated, as well....
