It seems that you are answering a different question than the one he is
asking.  I believe he is asking about "PC Pursuit", a service that goes
through telenet (an 800 or local call) and gives modemers a flat rate fee
for long distance calls (to most cities in the US).  All I know about
PC Pursuit is that it is limited to most MAJOR cities in the US, and that
their flat rate fee keeps going up.  I believe you can call 1-800-TEL-ENET
for info on it.  NOTE:  I do not subscribe to PC Pursuit, and cannot vouch
for the service.
