PAT] Hmm ... my AT&T card is billed out of Cincinatti, OH. reb *-=#= Phydeaux =#=-* reb@ingres.com reb%ingres.com@lll-winken.llnl.GOV ICBM: 41.55N 87.40W h:558 W.Wellington #3R Chicago, IL 60657 312-549-8365 [Moderator's Note: The reason yours is billed out of Cincinatti is because for many years, Cincinatti Bell handled all miscellaneous billing accounts for AT&T and the other Bell Companies. I think a lot of those accounts are still with Cincinatti Bell and newer ones are being handled by AT&T. PAT]
