It's available in 12 major metropolitan areas, and for only $25.00 per month gives unlimited long distance data calling to any of the other areas. There are a couple of restrictions -- there's a callback involved, and calls are limited to one hour each -- but there's no limit on total hours per month. Seems like it could save some backbone sites a *LOT* of money. (I recall someone posting an article saying they called GTE to ask about heavy UUCP traffic, and they were told GTE is not weeding out heavy commercial users. Yet.) -- Larry Campbell decvax!genrad The Boston Software Works, Inc. \ 120 Fulton St. seismo!harvard!wjh12!maynard!campbell Boston MA 02109 / / ihnp4 cbosgd ARPA: maynard.UUCP:campbell@harvard.ARPA
