I would appreciate advice/recommendations on my upcoming choice
of long distance carrier.  I would also appreciate a copy
(or pointer) to the last survey of long distance carrier
rates in telecom-digest.  (I've been offnet for several 
months.)  My calling pattern is mostly from home (area code 301)
to California (area codes 805, 707) and to West Germany.
Calling is almost entirely during non-peak rate periods.

Oh yes, home is Baltimore, MD.  With respect to Germany, I
would appreciate information on who supplies service
(anyone other than AT&T yet?) and differencies in hours
for minimum rate.

Also the local phone company (C&P) charges extra (of course)
for tone service.  Does anyone know if they're actually
equipped to NOT provide it if you don't order it?

Many thanks for all responses.  Please reply to me directly
