Anybody home at SBC?

Can somebody from SBC's abuse department please contact me off-list? Calling the phone number I have for the abuse department results in getting forward to a voicemail box to which nobody is subscribed, according to the recording. -- Jeff Workman | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.pimpworks.org
