[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

This article is apropos a recent thread on MIMEDefang:

I'm no fan of Bell Canada, but this is a terrific move -- they're
disconnecting subscribers whose machines originate viruses, and not
allowing them to reconnect until they've cleaned up their act.

I think Bell is not going far enough.  It should charge a reconnection
fee of $49.95 so that the TCO of virus-propagating software is accurately
assessed.
