Courtesy, of course, of the beloved US Sprint Company, which now owns Telenet. Could someone inform me when Telenet changed hands? (It wouldn't by any chance coincide with the PCP overhaul, now would it?) PS: A warning: getting on Telenet's mailing list can be hazardous to your mailbox. The volume of mail I have received from them has increased exponentially since I first requested some piece of trivia. Andrew Boardman amb@cs.columbia.edu ROLM is a four letter (and if you really have to, ab4@cunixc on bitnet) word. [Moderator's Note: Funny you should mention it. All I ever get in the mail from them is my monthly invoice for PC Pursuit. It is rare I hear from them otherwise. And of course, I promised them I'd find something else to put in the Digest every Tuesday -- heretofore a Holy Day of Obligation for the believers in the One True Telephone Company to bash Sprint -- besides homilies and meditations from Mssrs. Higdon, Guthrie, and yours truly. Bribery! (Wink) (Blink Blink) :) Starting next week, its MCI's turn! PT]
