- Hi, Here in Seattle we had worse luck. We talked to USWest about getting a
- second phone line to our house. So on the phone the people hardly know
- anything about data, modems or faxes. Anyway they probably "DID" know that
- they only warranty the phone lines for 2400 baud data. So our house to
- pole wiring is probably too old for the digital box anyway but they never
- tell you before hand what they know. They are just greedy for your money.
- Yeah sure, they came out to the house fast but then they could have not
- visited by saying what their warranty was on the phone. Ugg! later, J.
