I'm not SELLING anything.
I DO NOT want email addresses.
I'm asking if there is a resource where I can place an Request for Proposal (RFP) for your review.

Is there a listserv for ISP sales contacts?

If you consider responding to RFPs SPAM, then that's your loss. Sorry to bother you.

For those of you that have asked for a copy of the RFP, I'll mail you a link.
