Calm down, Greg.  It wasn't his decision - it was the Texas PUC which
decided for him.  The Texas PUC has mandated all carriers offer 900
blocking to customers.  If the carrier can't offer this service, then
900 calls must be blocked through the entire exchange until the service
is available.  A good number of Texas exchanges are currently cutoff
from 900 numbers.

Therefore, there are folks out there willing to pay for a call to uunet
to grab stuff who can't.  But that's still all beside the point - I don't
think that justifies BITFTP or mail servers.
