ISP Glossary:
Mean Time Between Failures - We've noticed a sharp increase in spam from "Wall Street Stock Alerts"as well. A little digging shows that their hands have been slappedonce by the FCC already(http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/EB-02-TC-071.html). You can submita new consumer complaint at http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cib/fcc475.cfm.Apparently, the spam goes deeper, and is associated with Fax.com. InAugust 2002, the FCC proposed a $5,379,000 fine against Fax.com forviolating "junk fax"prohibition. In March 2003, a judge ruled in favorof Fax.com and ordered a stay of FCC efforts to fine Fax.com. However,this ruling was quickly overturned on an appeal. A table is availableat http://privatecitizen.com/fcc-nal-fdc/firm-nmbr.htm with specificopt-out phone numbers (match your spam to the list). Regardless ofthe history lesson, I'd be inclined to lodge a new complaint sincethey obviously have not learned their lesson.Tonia Dousay Grigg Instructional Design SpecialistEngineering Utilities and Public Works Training InstituteTexas Engineering Extension ServiceOffice: 979/845-6565Fax: 979/845-2443
