The question was essentially "What is the relationship between AT&T
Mail FAX and AT&T Long Distance as far as paying for the Long Distance
Calls is concerned?"

My understanding is that any non-tarriffed AT&T service pays the
standard business rates for long distance calls.  The services can
sign up for any of the bulk discount plans such as Megacom 800,
ProWats, etc, but they pay the same as you or I would if we were to
set up such a service.  True, the money goes from AT&T to AT&T, but it
still is a cost of doing business for that particular service.

Tarriffed services, on the otherhand, are different.  I don't know how
billing for these types of services work, but they are differnt.

DISCLAIMER: These are not official statements from AT&T and may be
wrong, but what can you do!
