PAT] That isn't something just COCOT proprietors do. I have at least two friends -- also here in Chicago (suburbs) -- that have had the same experience with Illinois Bell: a refund check for $0.25! hpa = H.

They say that on the front of the piece of paper. I would be embarassed to send them a COCOT refund coupon along with my phone bill payment, although I guess I could. PAT]
