   I just got off the phone with the most WONDERFUL young lady at Michigan
Bell (and most of you know I don't get along much with them), and she tells
me that May first, Michigan Bell will be combining the TOTAL of lines you
have in your home (billed to ONE bill) and giving us that amount of calls
to play with in any fashion we'd like. In other words... if you have 2 lines
currently in your home and they are billed to one bill, you can either make
400 calls on each or 800 calls on either one.

   This will of course help The Plex Project out since we make more than
400 calls each month on more than one line. Since I am currently paying
for 8 lines on one bill, we will be able to make upwards of 1600 calls
each month on our two UUCP dialouts. I asked the young lady to go recheck
her information and the start date (which she did), and it was confirmed.

   Has anyone else heard anything about this? I'm sure this will be good
news to a lot of us here in netland!
