Bear,

This is an intriguing new aspect of that company and their works.  The
first thing I am curious about, and will likely look around for is
whether there is contract violation remedy against me since I hold no
contract with that company or their client-owner.  I'm certain there is
a precedent principal that covers this issue.

Second, are aware of any case law that may cover such.  I'm talking
about off the top of your head; I can do the research myself since I
just upgraded from 33.6 to 56K modem last night . . . HUGE difference.
$10 is nothing to sneeze at for voice/fax/data modem, either.

pacem et bonum
