In the immortal words of John Golovich (john at ciag.net):
> Has anyone else received a phone call from a UUnet salesman out of the blue?

"Yes, Frequently."

> "Im sure companies as small as yours would b content with someone as small

If a salesperson cold-calling you has the poor sense to be rude or insulting,
there are two effective tactics:

1.	Hang up.

2.	Ask to speak to their manager.
