Regarding the message about the local telco in Washington collecting $5 or $10 depending on what number you dialed... AT&T (and probably the others) has been getting geared up to offer a similar service nationwide. That is, certain 900 numbers will be billed at whatever rate the info provider wishes. You may get connected to a recording similar to current 900 service or you may get put through to a live person or computer system similar to current 800 service. Think of Compuserve with your telco doing the billing instead of Compuserve billing your credit card.
