Ok it looks like there are really two similar issues being discussed.
One is the SouthWestern Bell vs. Texas BBS operators issue and the
other is the FCC "access charge" issue.

I think the people on my local BBS are talking about the FCC access
charge.  So I presume that this issue is being discussed in Congress
right now?  Anybody know how to check up on such things?  Doesn't seem
likely to pass what with all the businesses in the U.S. that depend on
common carriers (i.e. Telenet, Tymnet)...

Anyway,

thanks!
