I do have a copy of their contract if
anyone is interested is taking a look at it. It is an interesting piece of legal
work.

Wow, that was GREAT info... I'm in the NY tri-state area so I'm sure I
will run into them as competition. Thanks for sending that link - it's
unbelievable; also proves the power of such emailing lists where we can share
this type of information about unethical companies!

So a guy shows up at the the office, after making an
appointment with the office manager / receptionist to talk
'phone systems'.
After her eyes glaze over, with him talking T1 and
Frame-Relay I get to see him. He's from Norvergence. Well
dressed. Tells me they can do a T1 for $79, with unlimited
local & long distance for free. It also does 'internet'.
'Just give me copies of your phone bill'. I ask some
questions, like number porting, like provisioning of DID
numbers, like CIR on the data etc. Now HIS eyes glaze over.
That's technical talk ... He's just there to follow up on
the appointment and 'qualify' the customer to see if we are
worthy of their cheap service. After I looked at their
website, I can hear 'quack quack'.
