a) The "previously established business relationship" exemption expires 6 
   months after the 'business relationship' ends. (This is in the 'fine 
   print' of the actual rules0  As the relationship in question ended 
   several years ago, according to the prior poster, this exemption would 
   not apply.

b) Nothing in the Do-not-call rules applies to calls to business numbers.
   Callers to business numbers are not even required to respect a 'put me 
   on your "do-not-call" list', or 'do not call me again' request under
   the DNC rules.
