AWL> You can't be a Member of the White Pages, as you get listed

 PE> I applied for a telephone number, and got listed in the

No Paul, you signed up as a customer of Telstra and paid for a connection.
They then assigned you a telephone number.

 PE> I applied for a Fido node number, and got listed in the 
 PE> nodelist.  

You made an application for Nodelisting and became a Member of FidoNet when
that took place...

AWL> FidoNet Nodelist *does*not*equall* telephonebook...

 PE> Yes it does.  BFN.  Paul.

So because I can use the HREOC to force Telstra to provide disabled
friendly service then I can do the same to FidoNet?

I'm glad you agree...
