Yeah, it's pretty obvious from the start. I'd like to see the VoIP-system w=
ith those requirements...
I just think these cases should be made public to at least slow these guys =
down, just in case someone else is less cluefull :) If these really happen =
all the time in the big world, this list may not be the right place, but ju=
st something Google can find. This is not first case we have come across re=
quests like this, but still not so common in the Finnish hosting scene.
