Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person
to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone
facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or
bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date
and time it is sent and an identification of the business, or entity, or individual
sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such
business, or entity, or individual.

Canadian Regulations Governing the Use of Modems

Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing the equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In
some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by
the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections
of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas.
a
WARNING: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves. Contact
the appropriate electric inspection authority or an electrician. Power and telephone
lines must always be properly grounded or physical harm may ensue.
