In reply to G.S. Thurman's raves about Sprint's conference calling
service:

        Big deal. Has Mr. Thurman (I'm assuming a male here) been
living in a cave? U.S. Sprint didn't "start this service," as he
lauds. AT&T has had something even better (and far less confusing, I
might add) for some time now.  It's called Alliance Teleconferencing.

        It works in a similar way, by using the "#" and "*" keys, but
also has many other enhanced features Sprint cannot yet match. I've
used Alliance several times and love it. It even has a "Meet Me"
feature which allows all conferees to start the conference at a
predetermined time simply by calling a secure, private access number.

        Once again, AT&T leads; the others follow.
