We have customers that seem to think that an "Unlimited" account seems to
grant them the right to make odd demands and camp on lines.
I actually had a customer of mine that wanted access to my personal UNIX
machine here at the office. When I informed him that it was my machine and
I wasn't going to open it up to anybody, he got quite upset that he was
paying us for an "unlimited" account and not getting "unlimited" access to
everything. He promptly cancelled. *shrug*
Customers are funny sometimes... there was the customer that wanted me to
BGP peer with him over a dialup line because he was playing with routed on
UNIX...
