This charge is not exactly trivial! If New York Telephone only charged $ .55 or even three times that, I probably wouldn't say a word about this topic. But an extra $ 6.81 (plus tax) per month is a ripoff! <> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York <> UUCP: {allegra|bbncca|decvax|nike|rocksanne|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry <> VOICE: 716/688-1231 {hplabs|ihnp4|mtune|seismo|utzoo}!/ <> FAX: 716/741-9635 {G1,G2,G3 modes} "Have you hugged your cat today?"
