If you don't want to be charged for an unlisted number but don't want the general public to have immediate access to you number, change the name listed in the phone book from your real name to a fictional name. You can use any name you like for the number listed in the phone book. At least this is true in the US West books. I know because I have had this done. When you choose a name to be used, pick a common name that will be hard to distinguish from others such as, Smith, Jones, Brown, etc. Ybbat (DRBBS) 8.9 v. 3.07 r.2 Origin: [1:285/666@fidonet] DRBBS Technical BBS, Omaha (1:285/666) Through FidoNet gateway node 1:16/390 John.Ranney@f666.n285.z1.fidonet.org
