Considering your prior behavior, John, you're hardly in a position to
be making demands of the universities.  WSU spends its money to
provide services to its students, staff, faculty, and customers.  It
just happens that they haven't bothered to turn off their Merit
dialins to non-paying folks.  It's quite possible that buying a 5890
is helping more students, staff, and faculty than buying a rack of
V.32bis modems.

Then again, if you were to donate such a group of modems, I'm sure
they wouldn't turn you down.
