I trust that you are indicating that the $4.47/hr charge will only be 
tacked on to PC Pursuit and other packet networks.  If I call interstate 
via the DDD network, the DDD charges would remain the same, wouldn't they?

I think that this FCC proposal is an attempt to put Telenet and Tymnet 
out of business.  I can get a Trailblazer modem and dial direct (in my
circumstances) and have the modem paid off in less than 5.5 months.

And yes, I've already done my letter writing.
