Southern Bell   has just introduced a bunch of new services for the Orlando

area which might eventually solve your problem of junk calls from 1 company.
							      SM
(They eventually will be available nationwide.)  The TOUCHSTAR   services

(just one feature) allows one to punch *60 (1160 for rotary) after receiving
					SM
an annoying phone call.  This CALL BLOCK   feature holds up to three numbers

(within your local area for now).  Future calls from these numbers to you

will be instead routed to a message saying that the call had been blocked...



(TOUCHSTAR and CALL BLOCK are service marks of BellSouth corporation.)
