(when i signed up they asked who i wanted for my default carrier so i'm sure i should have equal-access) what do i do about this? second, do they actually prevent tone from working if you don't ask for tone, ie. am i wasting $1.40/month by paying for a tt line? -- Arpa: tom@vax1.acs.udel.edu Uucp: ...{ihnp4,unidot,uunet}!cfg!udel!udccvax1!tom "Themes were useless; Destiny was here and the foot pedals were bleeding."
