Since I was also lucky enough to live close to work, I

You know Jordon,
People like you who use centrex and ISDN the way you do are going to
eventually over burden an already taxed local telephone telephone network
and drive ISDN costs up for everybody else. Do you know what kind of
burden you place on the network when you leave a line up 24 hours a day
not to mention the added burden of ISDN. And then you are irresponsible
enough to encourage the whole world to do the same thing by posting your
comments on the internet. That is a very shortsighted attitude.
