Contacting AT&T and USL and anyone else you can think of to complain is a
great idea (doing this at the same time you change your long distance
service of course).  Here are some phone and fax numbers that might help.

AT&T General
	Phone: 908-582-3000
AT&T President - Mr. Mayo
	Phone: 908-582-7610
	Fax:   908-582-5390

USL General 
	Phone: 908-522-6555
USL President - Mr. Pieper
	Phone: 908-522-6516
	Fax:   908-522-5171
USL Executive Vice President - Mr. Tannebaum
	Phone: 908-522-6666
	Fax:   908-522-5171
USL Chief Financial Officer - Steve Baker
	Phone: 908-522-7374
	Fax:   908-522-5038

The Chaiperson of the Board would also be a good person to contact, but
USL hasn't gotten back to me with that info yet.

Someone also asked about the Judge, and it says in the court docs: United
States District Court, District of New Jersey, Hon. Dickinson R.
Debevoise.

I called up USL's Investor Relations and they said that %60-%70 of USL's
stock belongs to AT&T, but it is hard to get more info than that since USL
is private.  FYI USL's Investor Relations phone number is 908-522-6264 and
the person to talk it is Ry Schwark.
