> I've dialed ``499-6749'', but all i got was ,,Kein Anschluß unter > dieser Nummer.'' :-) You're just not patient enough, Joerg! Considering that there are only some 20-30 countries with their own prefixes, and that the US is constrained to 3 digit area codes with only the possibility of 1-9 for the first digit, 0 or 1 for the second and 0-9 for the third, it should be simple! You can probably even rig up your modem to make the calls.. :-) :-) Joerg is, of course, correct. Tim has somehow mistaken us for a support organization which is paid to call him on the phone. This is obviously untrue, and Tim's style of asking for it was brusque enough that I simply deleted his message when I first ran across it. Were it not for Joerg's reply, I would have consigned this to the bit-bucket. Sometimes I do even call people on the phone to answer their questions, but only when asked really nicely! :-) Jordan > Sorry, no, phone calls are out of the scope of what you can expect > here.
