I called my local AT&T sales droid and told them that I was upset over this USL (AT&T) vs BSDI lawsuit and that I would disconnect my long distance service with AT&T if AT&T didn't drop that suit. I expected, of course, sort of a yawn from the sales droid. Instead the sales droid was very interested and wanted to write down the details of my complaint, and said that she was going to forward them to some big-wig somewhere. However, I agree with James' assessment. A letter is in the works. brian@apt.bungi.com
