Try delivering first class mail in the US. While I don't *think*
they'll put you in prison for doing that, they can certainly take
everything but the shirt off your back.

Can you spell  M  O  N  O  P  O  L  Y?

Yes, the good old-fashioned kind, openly backed by government force.
I doubt there is a single country in the world that doesn't have at
least one major (on a local scale, anyway) one.

Vomit.

(BTW, I called Telebit and asked a few questions. Here's what they
said: Right now, the Telebit is approved in the UK and in Holland. It
might be approved or close to approval in other countries, the person
I spoke to wasn't sure.

People in the US can call Donna Delaney at 1-800-TELEBIT x4756 for
more information; people in Europe can contact Michael Farmer in
Luxembourg at 352-31-96-45, and can FAX him at 352-31-96-72.

I have no relationship to Telebit other than as a satisfied customer.)
