You have to pay for your phone calls (message units), but the telephone, and the line are free. I feel that this is reasonable and am happy to be contributing. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
