MCI can't accomplish the simple task of removing and 800 number from service, but they have the potential to be an asset to the international telecommunications systems. I'm sure this is a religious issue, and I don't want to start a flamefest, but why do people take abuse from a phone company and remain loyal? Switching LD companies is not like divorcing a spouse; it's just phone company, try another one. |Ted Ede -- ted@mbunix.mitre.org -- The MITRE Corporation -- Burlington Road| | linus!mbunix!ted -- Bedford MA, 01730 -- Mail Stop B015 -- (617) 271-2524 | | - this line intentionally left blank - | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
