[Nuke the Jacksons!]

Ok, folks, here's an interesting one for y'all.  Southern Bell has started
telling us that we may now choose a default long distance company, other
than good old ATT.  I.e., you can choose who you'll get when you dial 1
and/or 0.  This will work for both dial (pulse) and touch tone phones.

So, (despite the gratitude we owe ATT for inventing UNIX :-) what long distance
phone company should I go with?  Do any of them supply operator assistance?
What is the quality of the connection I'll get? etc...

Personnally, I think replies should go to the net, since this will be happening
soon all across the country, if it hasn't started already (apologies to the
folks in Europe.... Do they get this group?).

Thanks,
