Hello, All!!
I was just looking through my old outbox to see when I e-mailed
telesys about this problem, and it looks like it was February 12, 1998. I
never even got so much as a confirmation message back in return. Seeing
as this problem has been going on for almost 9 months, and a large number
of us have been having it, we might do well to file a formal complaint
with the University if they don't fix it soon. I know I sure wouldn't
mind a refund for my telesys usage since February 12; and, according to
Texas' consumer protection laws, anybody who's had this problem might have
a legally justifiable request for a refund. I'm going to go to the
helpdesk today and see what the problem is... To anyone who posts info
that'd help solve this problem, thank you _VERY_ much!
Zoicks!!
