Holy crap... $45 a month for a phone line?! I'm not that old > either... (26 to be exact... Jim will tell you I'm around 62 though). What? That's crazy - no idea why it would be $45. Up until last month I had a Bell landline with call display and it ran me $32.05 per month, with call display being $8.00 of that (plus taxes). Now I'm completely on dry DSL with only VoIP so I no longer have to deal with Bell :-) - Julian -- -- Julian C.
