    Because PC Persuit isn't a flat fee service.  The $35/month is for
    unlimited off peak time.

  Is this a misprint, or has it gone up?
  It ought to go down, since service is getting worse.  From DC to
Boston is now almost always busy, and I had to write a program to keep
trying once every two seconds and beep me when it gets through, which
often takes a half hour or more.

[Have you noticed that after waiting 1/2 hour for a line you get 
 a noisy outdial modem?  3 nights out of 5 I spend another half hour
 reporting the condition, only to resume waiting through the "busy"
 cycle again!  I have serious doubts that Telenet's repair technicians
 do an adequate job testing their equipment.  -Elmo]
