If this applies to ALL computer generated calls, that's too bad. 
We'll miss all those California-based members of the usenet
community whose machnes call each other all day and night exchanging
data.  What a pain -- paying human beings to make live introductions
before switching to DATA mode when the modem calls another modem... 
I doubt many of the folks there will be able to stay "networked" at
such a cost!
