That was the *only* way that I ever tolerated using it.  The cost per each  
connection + the per minute rates could add up quickly.

I tried to limit my use to 4 calls per week, but I kept track of the total  
minutes my pocket book could bear.

I loved the pro quality of info from the messages and the helpful  
courteous attitude from other members (unlike what I seem to be  
encountering in another echo at this time.)  

The last few days have been quite a whirlwind in learning the ropes of  
opx.  Still more to learn.  Thanks for your input and comments every now  
and then.
