Interesting piece of Math. Lets assume a company pays 10c a minute for Long distance calls currently. If they have 12 lines and they are ALL contantly in use for 8 hours of 5 business days a week it will cost them as follows. each line costs 7 * 8 * 60 * 0.1 = 336 dollars per week per line so for 12 lines we have 12 * 336 = 4032 per week in call charges So lets say someone could provide a box @ 20K and calls @ 5c then the costs would be 7 * 8 * 60 * 0.05 = 166 dollars per week so for 12 lines we have 12 * 168 = 2016 per week in call charges If we take the $2016 in saving and apply it to the box we pay for the box in 10 weeks. I would take that kind of payback period. Total annual savings

Jack, regarding "name calling." It seems to me that ValueSpecious is calling itself names. For example: 1. Under common business practice, any name given to an entity which you own and operate which is NOT your own name is called a "Fictitious Name." Hence, ValueSpecious is in itself a fictitious name (assuming ValueSpecious is not the name on its birth certificate) and ValueSpecious is, therefore, calling itself names! 2. IF a person calls himself a fictitious name, is it not common for others to similarly ascribe a name to said entity, as how are they to know *which* fictitious name (name calling) is its accurate name? Therefore, you (or us) can't be blamed for ascribing a name to someone who already HAS a fictitious name. That name COULD very well be Destroyer, Liar, Short, etc. (Better stop, this is close to the question of time travel, and venturing into the past and meeting up with your grandmother while she was a young woman of child-bearing age and... well you get the point!) rd
