About requiring business service for a BBS in Massachusetts: So it
says that the phone can only be used by the subscriber and immediate
family?  If I had a BBS, I'd certainly claim that everybody calling
the BBS was calling me.  Who else would they be calling?  It would be
different if I had an employee answering the phone, but a computer is
hardly an employee.

About 700 numbers: All of the ALDS services use 700 numbers a little
bit.  When I need to call the MCI business office, I call
1-700-624-5555.  I suspect that they will all end up putting their
service calls on 700 numbers so they don't have to pay for so many 800
numbers.
