On the thread of personal 800's, I'd just like to point out that Cable and Wireless' 800 numbers are programmable via the same number you dial to complete calls. For security, they use a total of 12 digits, four are duplicated but I think can be changed (also online). There is *no* charge for changing the number to which your 800 number is forwarded, and I change mine at least twice a day. C&W claims it may take as long as 15 minute for the change to take place, but I've never had it take more than two minutes when I've tried it. A friend of mine called me from Austin today on the 800 number and I didn't even know he was out of town... :-) Just a shameless plug from a happy customer. I don't get anything if you sign up with C&W and I don't work for them.
