In article <13206@accuvax.nwu.edu> you write:

>In attempting to use my MCI card by dialing 950-1022 from a certain COCOT

Around here, I've walked up to more than one COCOT, dialed 950-1022,
and been advised to "deposit nine dollars, and ninety five cents, for
the first one minute."  Perish forbid their AOS should lose even one
overpriced call.

Does anyone know offhand whether the Mass. DPU has any COCOT rules?
