Like many of you I have had unfortunate experiences with phone calls from hotels and motels. Last week, however, I had a pleasant experience at a "Susse Chalet" motel in White River Junction, Vermont. Local phone calls were free. Long distance calls were claimed to be "reasonable". (I don't know the LD carrier, but I don't think it was AT&T.) A six minute call to central NJ placed after 5pm was $2.81, which I thought was OK. Reach Out America it isn't, but how does this charge compare with the best and the worst out there? Larry Geary: 74017.3065@compuserve.com lmg@mtqub.att.com

Well, let's see. AT&T operator assisted is $1.75 + .1457/minute =
$2.62 for calls in that mileage band, so it's not so bad if you don't
have a calling card. At least not for six minutes.
But if you had used a calling card the call would have cost $1.67.
