- The FCC has passed some new regulations regarding junk telephone calls
- and "junk FAXes." Does anyone have the text of these new regulations?
- I am particularly interested in what makes a FAX a "junk FAX." Are
- all unsolicited FAXes "junk FAXes?" Is an unsolicited FAX directly
- addressed to a person "junk?" and illegal?

- [Moderator's Note: An unsolicited fax sent to someone is not automat-
- icaly 'junk' any more than an unsolicited phone call is 'junk',
- despite what a lot of companies may claim about 'unauthorized' fax
- messages or 'unauthorized' email, etc. If a large company can call me
- on the phone and try to sell me something, I can send them a fax
- message telling them what I think. PAT]
