That's good.

The first step is to determine why you were blacklisted in the first
place. That may be tricky since dial-up ips tend to be used by many
users and the blacklist may have been caused by someone else. I tried
to find out why those bls had that ip listed, but in the short time I
spent I didn't see an explanation. One possibility is to dial in
again and stay connected long enough to get blacklisted and then check
the blacklist for a reason, then correct the problem and request
delisting (and hang up so you can get a new ip :-)).
