Hmm. Well, I guess USENET is not an acceptable avenue for questions unless
ALL other resources have been thoroughly checked, including an archive
of the past year's postings. Since you're so obviously acquainted with
the dictionary, why not use one to look up some archaic technical terms,
like 'courteous'?


DISCLAIMER: 
I can say without fear of contradiction that AT&T doesn't care in the
slightest bit what I say, unless I make the mistake of saying something
they care about :-).
