Blake Farenthold very kindly sent me a complete copy of the recent order entered by the FCC regarding the AOS companies, and the changes ordered in their operations. The trouble is it is a *huge* file, by Digest standards. 33,000+ bytes of text. The typical Digest is 10-13,000 bytes. The Digest software requires that each Digest be less than 15,000 bytes. This is due to the way some mailers handle messages, etc. Larger Digests (especially when you mail a huge number at a time, as I do) causes the mailers to complain and mess things up. So -- I am going to send out a copy of the FCC Order to the list (and comp.dcom.telecom) over the weekend in a *three part mailing* of about 12,000 bytes each. Typically, mail to the Digest is slower on weekends, and we usually have only one or two Digests anyway. When you get the three parts, which will be 'special editions', you can cut out the headers and paste all the actual text back together again, and have a complete copy for your own reference library. Watch for them Saturday or Sunday, spaced about an hour apart in the mail. Patrick Townson
