Switch long distance carriers, and then give AT&T a call and tell them why (or write them a letter). AT&T makes virtually *no* money on licensing compared to what it makes on phone services. A boycott of AT&T phone services would probably be taken very seriously; you need only watch TV to see how seriously. Of course, it would take a lot of people complaining to make an impression... _MelloN_ -- mellon@ncd.com Member, League for Programming Freedom | To learn how software patents could cost you your right to program, contact the LPF - league@prep.ai.mit.edu
