They advise caution and watchfulness to those of us where the phone company isn't yet trying the particular stunts. However, in order to achieve maximum good, I urge people to write a short letter to the editor of the local paper. Even the very liberal _Snooze-Urinal_ occasionally carries letters about such things. A letter, moderate in tone, alerting people to such excessive charges or out-of-bounds operations is not unlikely to be published. {bikini.cis.ufl.edu allegra uunet!cdin-1}!ki4pv!tanner
