With German `Bundespest' Telekom about to halve the charge per unit, & divide by 4 the connect time per charge unit (ie double the charge for local on-line calls) as of Jan. 1 1996 ... It would seem worthwhile for these final few days to { Sup & Ftp & Telnet & Web-surf } like crazy up to Dec. 31. Switch emphasis on Jan 1. to testing & debugging things that need frequent short redials, such as configuring hylafax & uccp & auto redial ppp. Anyway, that's my plan for the pre & post new year transient period. PS I've sent this to different (non-overlapping) lists, so please trim the Cc: line if you reply, Thanks. Julian. -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
