You might be interested in some of the details. The reason I need a card at all is that normally I can only use my access code from Fort Collins. If I'm anywhere else in the country, then my MCI line does no good. Normally to use the calling card I have to dial (correctly!) 32 digits. This is a 7-digit access line, "0", 10-digit destination, 10-digit home phone, and 4 digits of security. This extends to 36 digits if the 7-digit access line is not available in the region I'm dialing from. They give no useful information on how much it will cost to use the card. Just some gibberish about "It'll save you 2%-10%", with the caveat that "Charges may not be competitive in some cases". Thanks a lot, guys. I guess I'll have to wait for my bill. All information needed to use the card is printed on the card, including the 4 digits of security and my home phone number. If it's ripped off I'd better hustle! Does anybody have any useful information on this latest technohazard? Carl Dierschow / Hewlett Packard CNO inhp4!hpfcla!hpcnoe!c_dierschow
