I realize that all of these order forms and press releases are serving a
purpose -- informing BBS sysops of low-cost modem offers -- but nonetheless,
aren't there Internet regulations against commercial advertising? (Does
this apply if you're just republishing an existing ad, and are not
associated with the company involved, as is the situation with the two
long postings I just read today?)
I envision a 9600-baud modem war, with every c.d.modems subscriber posting
a description of their favorite modem, along with phone numbers and prices,
for all to peruse.
[And as an aside, wasn't that USR "survey" a riot? Looks like we know where
they're making up part of that "lost" money -- they may very well be selling
that demographic info they're collecting...]
