Phil Sounds like urban myth to me, there is a similar one circulating in Canada concerning the Canadian postal service. But if it is true, you just racked up a charge of about $90 (I'll round the numbers so I don't get trouble like Steve). And judging from the headers on your attachment the amount collected would be about equal to the national debt. Quick! Better buy stock in ISPs - you can bet they won't just charge you a nickel!
