When I moved here from Pasadena a year and some months ago there was a chunk of the city (east of Sierra Madre Villa and north of Foothill if I recall correctly) served by GTE from a Sierra Madre CO. A friend working at one of the "high tech" companies had no end of complaints about this, not the least of which was that he was literally across the street from Pac*Bell's territory even though well within Pasadena's corporate limits. Moral: Find out where the boundaries REALLY are. (Another friend found that the line ran right through his west-of-LA apartment complex, and he too was on the "wrong" side.) -=EPS=- {claris,ucsfcca,hoptoad}!wet!epsilon Fast: wet!epsilon@claris.com Cheap: cca.ucsf.edu!wet!epsilon@cgl.ucsf.edu
