This is a little off-topic, but you really should get
yourself a new ISP. Suspend first, notify later is a really
crappy policy. Some ISPs are more reasonable than yours
seems to be. If you don't mind, why not tell us who it is,
so we can avoid them like the plague. Unless, of course,
they sue perlmonks for libel. :/
