[comp.dcom.telecom] When PC is the Reason For a Second Line

Like many other readers of this Digest, I always like to read the
front matter in the phone book - both locally and when traveling.  The
new St. Louis White pages just arrived today and one of the things
that I found interesting was where SWBT lists the "Optional Services"
they suggest that you might want additional lines - "A separate
telephone line with a different number for your teenager or personal
computer."

Clearly they understand that there is additional revenue to be
achieved from folks like many of the readers here.  Note also, that
they don't say anything about charging you business rates if you get
too many additional lines :-)
