If you have a shell account on SHELL.PEPPERELL.NET, and many of you on the FREEBSD-ISP list do, due to a trademark on my home town's name of Pepperell my domain name will be changing to MULLANEY.ORG. I can't believe that a company that makes towls, blankets, and bedsheets can trademark my town name and then get the internic to threaten to place on hold every domain name that has the word pepperell in it, including pepperell.com (registered about 3 years ago), pepperell.org and mine -- pepperell.net, but the internic sent the letter and I just dont have the $1000 dollars to risk on a boneheaded judge or a scum-sucking pig lawyer. (No offense to the laywers on this list though, if you use FreeBSD you can be a scum-sucker, linux on the other hand....well nevermind) <GRIN> Email me in private unless you think it can help the other ISP's on the list. -- Thomas Mullaney email: thomas@mullaney.org 978/597-0158 (Voice) icq: 46055129 978/597-3104 (Fax) aim: tpm01469 -- System Administration, programming, consulting, LAN/WAN desgin & support To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
