not quite the same, but when i was recently in brazil doing some seminar work, i was told by many people of the collect call problem there. it seems that in brazil, if you make a collect call, the default action (in the absence of someone saying that they don't want to accept the charge) is for the charge to be made collect. so people would call their isps this way and get (relatively) free service. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
