You sir, have not dealt with NYNEX.  They are not only stupid, but
extremely rude.  Where else do you have to beg for dialtone?  How many MFS
T1 lines can be *whoops* installed wrong the first three times?  They are
evil, evil, evil, and I will leave the ISP business if they ever buy a
national ISP.  Blech.
