If so, geez, what > kind of credit do full-timers get? It just so happens that today I was filling out my AT&T Form U1241, "InterLATA Toll Discount Plan and Business Reimbursement Approval Request". I certainly won't get back anything like $700! The most I can be reimbursed for personal calls is just under $70. And they'll pay for any business calls I make (assuming my boss approves!). They *won't* pay for overseas personal calls. The money comes back to me on my paycheck. Now I don't know anything about "part-time computer security consultants". He could be working for our Security organization, and who knows how they might reimburse him. There could be some funky credit arrangement. But I would be quite surprised if he were getting credited one penny more than his actual calling. If Mr. Farris' acquaintance is working for AT&T as a snitch, then he's being pretty stupid bragging about it. Perhaps someone who knows this guy should offer to call AT&T Security and let them know about his claims. I'd like to hear what develops.
