Steevo,
A very interesting read. A little snippet from part of the site:

Q. Should I call the opt out number? Unplug my fax machine for a week?

A. No it is way too risky...the cure might be worse than the disease!
It tells them you read your faxes and they aren't wasting their time.
Sue them instead. One person wrote in recently:

I was only getting a few each week until I started calling the opt out
numbers. Now I'm deluged with them and am ready to sue. If it's
illegal, why can't they be stopped?

Unplugging your fax machine won't help either. When you plug it back
in, the calls will come at the same rate.

And don't bother with the "National Fax Removal Database" from the
"National Association of Broadcast Faxers" http://www.removefax.com/.
The junk faxers do not want to remove you. If that list worked, I'd
get hundreds of emails like "I put my number on the list and within 24
hours, all the junk faxes stopped coming!" Well, I haven't gotten a
single one.
