After sending my previous message (Message-ID: <12645@accuvax.nwu.edu>) 

I called the PTT Telecom operator and asked about the Call Forwarding
prices.  Please try to keep alive when you read the following:

You have the choice between a three-month and a six-month contract.

3-month:	entry price	Dfl. 300
		monthly		Dfl. 150

6-month:	entry price	Dfl. 200
		monthly		Dfl.  90

I suppose the monthly fee applies only to the following months,
otherwise it does not make sense.

The exchange rate is $1 == Dfl 1.75.

I was so shocked when I heard these prices that I refused to get any
additional information. Now I also understand why people buy a call
forwarding box and two telephone lines.
