Heh, Heh, Heh...  Yuup...  I guess you could say that ?!?  
But it sure takes up a *LOT* of my time, and my phone bills got up to over 
$500/mo there for a while (really cuts into the ol' savings).  It's been 
better since I spent the $500 in the BitSurfer ISDN and the USR 33.6 modem.  
Don't know if it's the speed that's doing it - or the sheer terror of being 
charged .18 cents/min over the digital lines.  The voice quality has REALLY 
improved and I get less errors.  Most of the time I can get around 3500 CPS 
on an analog call and about 5800 CPS to the digital nodes.  I've seen a 
reduction to about $150-200/mo since ISDN was installed, but PacBell is NOW 
trying to get an OK from CPUC for a rate increase of 53.3% for the ISDN 
rates...  
I feel really bad for Eric.  I hear (in the *C echo) that he's having some 
real problems with the LEC over there...  Glad I got away from it. 
And that's it on THAT topic...  ;-)
All the Best to you and yours,
