My school (Case Western Reserve University) is scheduled to use the
AT&T ACUS Service for all long-distance calling beginning at the
beginning of February.  The alleged benefits of the service are:

    -- A private access code for each student (usable from any
       telephone on campus)
    -- Lower rates
    -- A credit limit of $150 (yes, that's listed as a "great
       benefit" of the service)

Obviously AT&T wouldn't say anything about this, so I'm going to ask
fellow net'ters: Does anyone know of any possible "gotchas" with this
service?  Has anyone used it extensively?  I'd like to be prepared for
when it's activated.

Thanks...
