Thanks for adding me to the list. The odd thing is I was definitely on the list for several months, then stopped getting the mailings. I hope that didn't happen to lots of other people. Looking forward to receiving TELECOM again. By the way, a guy I know is having an amazing battle with Southwestern Bell before the Texas Public Utilities Commission. He runs a bulletin board system from a house and found out that SWB has two different rate structures for multi-line rotary service, depending on whether they like you or not. He managed to force SWB to admit they were giving preferential service to thousands of customers and got the tariffs modified. I get sort of lost in the details, but one the major issues is whether non-profit home BBSs should pay commercial rates for rotary service. Depending on how this goes here in Texas could give phone companies all over the country ideas about gouging the little folk. Anyway, I asked him once if he would like to write up something for this list and he wanted to know who gets this list. I said I didn't really know. Would you be interested in a more detailed submission on this from the horse's mouth? Thanks alot, A. Lester Buck ...!uunet!nuchat!siswat!buck
