Hi, Ann!
 
Yes, I know about the AT&T tollfree directory; however, since it isn't 
on audio cassette or in braille, it doesn't help me much.  I get the 
feeling sometimes that when one group is accommodated someone is left 
out.  I really don't see why this book couldn't be made accessible 
via modem or computer disk.  Why couldn't the telephone users be able 
to contaDirectory Assistance and obtain phone numbers using their modems? 

 The book may have been free once, but it isn't now.  I don't recall 
the cost but have heard their advertisement whenever I've called and 
requested a phone number.  After the recording gives the phone number 
there is a second recording you'll hear, if you don't hang up soon 
enough, advertising the availability of the directory and how to obtain 
one and the cost.  Well, maybe some day we will all have equal access 
to everything!  Until then we share our info and help each other when 
we can.
Take care,
Linda
