In Rhode Island, the only way you can get measured service installed in a home that has unlimited service is to have an "apartment". NETEL's definition of an "apartment" is a living area with stove and bathroom. So... There is one Sysop of a local BBS here who has measured service lines installed all the time. To accomplish this, whenever he calls for measured service, when NETEL shows up to hook up his new line, he takes the little propane grill out of storage and sets it up. And, since his basement already has an extra bathroom, and his bedroom is down there too... voila! instant apartment. MD
