Wireless Nomad? I'm not sure what their policy is, and well, if the
gov't reintroduces the legislation to which Sympatico seems to be
preemptively adhering, it might make little difference. The other
thought, ISP's could well be checking on users anyways...

I guess the other question, mightn't Bell allowed to monitor dry dsl 
lines that are leased to smaller isp's? If not the lines themselves, how 
about the uplink to the Bell-Nexxia network?
