At least one person agreed - and, they did have to up their (admittedly competitive) VoIP prices, to cover the extra cost of supporting VoIP-only customers who weren't perhaps as savvy as their ISP customers (who _were_/are mostly savvy, else they wouldn't be paying the ISP costs). Maybe, as a result of the extra staff, they're back to being nice (well, not condescending) to VoIP-only customers. Anyway, I'd be interested to hear from people who've used both A&A and voip, and how they compare. -- J. P. Gilliver. UMRA: 1960/<1985 MB++G()ALIS-Ch++(p)Ar++T+H+Sh0!:`)DNAf Very funny, Scotty.
