: Message BLACKLISTED

: What ???
:
In some countries, it is against the law (or against PTT regulations) to
dial the same number repeatedly, and in some cases this is enforced by the
telephone service provider and/or by the modem, in which case the call
fails and the failure reason is "BLACKLISTED".
The last time I looked, these regulations were especially strict in
France ("le r�glementation anachronique draconnienne..."):
Suite � un �chec, vous ne devez pas fair une nouvelle tentative avant
que deux minutes ne se soient �coul�es apr�s le premier appel, quatre
apr�s le second et huit apr�s le troissi�me... Apr�s cinq nouvelles
tentatives, le num�ro est mis sur la liste interdit.

P.S. It is considered bad manners to post the same question separately to
many newsgroups, because then each answer only goes to one newsgroup
instead of to all the newsgroups you posted it to.
