No frills, no Long Distance, no message units, etc. The line actually costs more in so-called "taxes" than it costs for the line! ($4.88 for the phone line and $1.75 for an unlisted number -- the rest is all "taxes!" $6.10 for "Federal Line cost charge," $.54 for "Federal Universal Service Fund surcharge," $1.00 for the "911 fee" and $ .08 for the PA Relay service, plus $.40 Federal Tax.) Does that line also do local calling? I guess regional calling is pushing it. I don't need long distance because my Lingo VoIP box is scheduled for delivery today. (This is going to be fun.) (Wow, the VoIP box just showed up! Hmm. I also got a GPS handheld from Amazon for wardriving. They usually ship books in protective boxes. The GPS they send in a padded envelope?! Yeah, I know, sometimes I act like I have money and I babble. Well, I babble more often than spend money.) ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
