Even if AT&T gets rid of every COCOT in the country, I will need to
retain my FONcard for calls from private FONs. I really think they're
cutting off their nose to spite their face.

These are the people who killed the AT&T 7300, a computer so good it
still has a cult following years after being orphaned twice over. If
they had one competant marketer in any sort of controlling position,
they would *still* own long distance lock, stock, and AOS.
