I'm reminded of a student (I think this was Larry Rachman, another reader of the digest who may post in response, if he has anything to add) who successfully challenged a campus policy disallowing call transfer from dorm phones. The problem may be that the law (or the PSC/PUC) doesn't consider a residence provider to be a telecom provider as well, treating it like hotel service instead. -edg Ed Greenberg +1 415-694-2952 (day) uunet!apple!netcom!edg edg@cso.3mail.3com.com 76703,1070 on CompuServe
