Even default routing resembles agreements.              Well for Fido On the 'Net that really seems to be the only route... maybe       those who actually still have actual modem setups might be using EMSI via FD       etc..               * Origin: news://news.wpusa.dynip.com | acct req'd to post (1:3634/12)    |
