Even if they *did* call the phone company and have them fix it at $60/hr, they'd be better off paying for the service call. I've never had inside wiring problems. I tried to convince one friend of this recently. She lives in an apartment building and is spending $2 each month for "wire maintenance." What a rip-off. reb *-=#= Phydeaux =#=-* reb@ingres.com or reb%ingres.com@lll-winken.llnl.GOV ICBM: 41.55N 87.40W h:558 West Wellington #3R Chicago, IL 60657 312-549-8365 w:reb ASK/Ingres 10255 West Higgins Suite 500 Rosemont, IL 60018 708-803-9500 [Moderator's Note: Illinois Bell calls their plan 'Linebacker', and like the others it is a total waste of money.
