Bell Canada, which serves Quebec (well, it's ALMOST part of Canada :-) ) and Ontario, doesn't charge for directory assistance to numbers not yet in the book. It's curious to see someone in North America who does. Sounds more like the style of the telephone systems in the less civilized parts of the world (Britain, France, Germany ... :-) ). -peter

US are getting less civilized, day by day. Expect the rest of the world to follow suit. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!sa!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
