1. Telenet's customer service number is 1 800 336 0437 (1 703 689 6400).

2. From their Winter 1989 booklet, "U.S. Access Telephone Numbers":
   a. The modems are Microcom V.29 compatibles
   b. The 9600 baud service is available in
      * Phoenix, AZ * Los Angles, CA * San Francisco, CA * Denver, CO
      * Washington, DC * Maimi, FL * Atlanta, GA * Chicago, IL
      * Kansas City, KS & MO * New Orleans, LA * Baltimore, MD * Boston, MA
      * Ann Arbor, MI * Detroit, MI * Minneapolis, MN * St Louis, MO
      * Newark, NJ * Princeton, NJ * New York, NY * Cincinnatti, OH
      * Cleveland, OH * Columbus, OH * Kent, OH * Portland, OR
      * Philadelphia, PA * Pitsburgh, PA * Dallas, TX * Ft Worth, TX
      * Houston, TX * Seattle, WA * Milwaukee, WI

3. From discussions with their customer service department, I learned
   that the modems were neither PEP or V.32 compatible, that they have 
   received many requests for V.32 support, and that they were considering 
   installing V.32 capacity in early 1990.
