LONG WAIT -- A woman bugged about paying toll charges just to talk to
her daughter six miles away has won a 17-year battle to get the phone
company to change its rate structure. Thanks to Estelle Simon, New
England Tel. on Oct. 19 will eliminate toll charge for calls between
neighboring exchanges and reduce rates for other in-state calls.  The
ruling affects more than 100 exchanges around the state.
