I read with interest (and amusement) your trials and trivulations with
the new CLASS services. (I've had some too -- like a crossed
translation in a DMS-100 that had all the LD charges cross-billed
between my two lines. By the time a year had passed and the problem
was cleared, Southern Bell security wanted to know how I knew such
things...)

As a follow up to you service usage, a note about what you are paying
for them might be interesting. Some of the rates I've seen make it
look like a customer could pay more for the CLASS special features
than for the basic dialtone. When you consider that all this CLASS is
just software and some CPU cycles plus disk storage, it seems like an
incredible amount of money.  Have the PUCs looked into the rates for
these services?
