G'day Paul,

Replying to a message of Paul Edwards to Jeff Green on 05-08-96:

Nice idea but I don't do anything like that automatically unless it's free
or at a fixed cost eg calling you costs 25c fixed. I have that set to a
maximum of four times also :-) Matra is $1/hour so it can build up if
things freak out. I don't trust technology that much.

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
