Well, so AT&T should not charge anything for telecommunications, cause their net isn't perfect? And neither should tymnet? Why should somebody not charge anything for service, he offers?

Of course, EUnet is not perfect. but the service at unido is very much woth the charges. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP If there is something more important than my Ego, I want it caught and shot.
