You mentioned asking for the supervisor, I tried again and explained what I meant by ALDS, and got the same junk from the operator so I said the magic words and got the supervisor. She was just as clued out as the operator! I didn't go to the manager, but I figure she/he would be just as confused or unwilling to help me. It seems that they have been given orders not to help using other companies than AT&T. *sigh* By the way, the company was Pacific Bell, and it was an AT&T operator. For tho,se of you who can use the "choose- a-servce" thing in your area I suggest it strongly. I have been flip-flopping between companies all night and it works great. There is a difference in quality, tho so for data you may have to watch out. --Arun Baheti NBaheti.es@Xerox.COM CP/M Connection @ 213-530-0670 ps - They don't say use "288" now, they say dial "AT&T"... It actually makes sense, dial ATT to use AT&T via 10-EA. One good thing about the breakup is that now they seem to be thinking; I guess they have to, eh? pps - To use 10-EA you will need a pricing chart. The non-AT&T companies are willing to send you one with their prices if you call their 800-number. AT&T's are in the phone book.
