Nancy,

  Well, it was that way with my late Mom's deal, until AT&T so screwed her
over. When she died, I called them, chewed them out, and said they basically
could take their service, and shove it!! While that likely will make me a
bad reference, I didn't care, and doubted they did, either. 

  Besides, I doubt you could get an inexpensive vanilla only analog line 
anymore (you have to get their internet, and everything else). With so many
going to cellphones and dropping their landlines, the cost for those who
still have them, is enormous, and I don't have that kind of money.

 NB> All I was saying is that if one knows that one does not want something,

  As the late P.T. Barnum noted, "there's a sucker born every minute".

  Hmmm...I wonder who its parents were?? <G>
