      It can get much worse.  A few months ago, I attempted a call from
a Pay-Tel Systems private coin station (at the Diana Market #2 on 9th
Street in S.F.).  The call was to a S.F. suburb, and would cost about
$0.75 from a Pacific Bell phone.  The Pay-Tel unit's voice synthesizer
came out with a demand for $18.75.
