Hi David, I thought I would add this to the doco file, as an
example of what a good connect looks like, and I noticed that
you are dialing Optus by putting a "1456" in front of the
number.  If you do this for all of your STD calls, you might
want to change to using Optus as the default carrier, because
you then get an ADDITIONAL 6% off your phone calls, INCLUDING
local calls if you call ME by going "1456024361785", EVEN 
THOUGH you already have Optus as a default.

This is what I do when calling Dave Hatch, so now my local calls
cost 23.5c and they are itemised too.  Note that if your average
local call takes longer than about 7 minutes, you are doing Optus
a disservice.  My average is ok last time I looked.  BFN.  Paul.
