Great idea! and if you want some help, there is a great guy from CWA
(Communications Workers of America) by the name of Bill Mahoney who used to
be at USWEST. I think he is now working for/with LEVIS, but i still have a
phone number which may do the trick. 602-786-3212. We worked closely while
he was at USWEST, and I saw something of him later -- but no word for a
while. Peggy Holman, who was also at USWEST may have a better or more
recent number or email. h.
