  BTW, Fred -- does NYNEX up there *also* charge the per-call "drop" (10.6
  cents, here in NYC) for data calls, on *top* of the per-minute data charges?
  
  The combination, here in NYC, makes demand-based throttling (where my
  hardware could bring the lines up and down based on traffic) prohibitive...
