You missed my point. I think of free USENET access as a perk. I personally
stick to comp.*.amiga*, sci.math*, soc.culture.indian, and will complain
bitterly if I lose any one of them. I think of these as a compensation for 
thing I am not getting at OSU/Newark.

I think that this will be bad for employee morale. It is not a simple matter
of saving phone bills. There will be negative reactions and one has to weigh
the costs as well as the immediate savings.
