adjacent county was to be considered local.
Area codes could usually cover multiple counties, but you usually know

There are EMTAs cable modems with VoIP ATA's that have 4 hr battery in the
market already.
Sure. Many cable providers offer a superior form of VoIP that's
engineered to act like real phone service with reserved bandwidth to their
own switches and backup power for all the pieces on the way
This does bring up a hardware design question...I'm wondering how
difficult of an engineering/marketing problem it would be to design
VoIP adapters with built-in backup batteries. How does the power
consumption profile of a VoIP adapter compare to, say, a cellphone?
What would this add to

The newly reorganizaed Anti-Spam Research Group has set up some new

Several of the groups have a lot of operational relevance,
One of the new domains set up in 2002 was .pro, with three initial

It would be nice if we could use SMTP-AUTH on port 25, but the

Blocking direct-from-dialup spam is best done on the receiving end,
blocking *unauthenticated* SMTP connections made directly from dial-up
IPs.
If there were a definitive list of dialup and DHCP IP ranges, I might
agree. But after some years of compiling the MAPS DUL, Pan Am's PDL, the
It appears that the policy of blocking outbound port 25 has been adopted
much more broadly. It is not just folks running dial-in services. At a
minimum, anyone with visitors -- no matter how they connect -- is a
candidate for embracing the blocking philosophy.
I can believe it. If I were
