This is one of those things, like the 55 mph speed limit, that people (justifiably) think you're crazy if you do it. In my case, the telephone company representative that I tried to notify was almost scandalized that I bothered. The implied question was, "Why are you bothering me with this stuff?" Then, when I insisted, she listened in a bored way while I ran through the long list FCC identification numbers, not even trying to disguise the fact that she thought I was weird. I didn't do it again. Rahul Dhesi UUCP: oliveb!cirrusl!dhesi
