They are doing this on a trial basis. >It will be interesting to see if this works and/or spreads. Perhaps they put you on hold for a minute first :-) Consider who can use this... Most corporations have 900 numbers blocked (or should :-) We're down to the individuals then. This is a offer to an isolated number cruncher, say a private practice accountant, an investor, etc., to get an expert on the phone and, for the low low price of $120/hour, buy consulting time. I think it's overpriced. I also don't think it'll last. Ed Greenberg edg@cso.3mail.3com.com
