See, I told you Roch Tel was worthless. I've gotten much better information about the Roch Tel's service options from AT&T Long Distance Special Services than I have from anyone at Roch Tel. When I wanted a long distance special event line (a radio-broadcast quality line to carry coverage of a basketball tournament) AT&T told me they could set it up in 3 days anywhere in the country, but that wouldn't do me much good, because Roch Tel would take a week to connect AT&T's long line to my phone. Roch Tel confirmed this, and we had to cancel plans to cover the tournament, since we would only have 3-5 days notice of where the next game would be (depending on who won in each round), and we couldn't afford to have lines installed everywhere. There oughta be a law about this.... Jeremy Grodberg jgro@apldbio.com "Beware: free advice is often overpriced!"
