To Hache Christina: I know you can get printing done at Vale D'Coeur, but 
I believe they also charge around $1.00 per page.  Have you tried looking 
in the yellow pages?  Surely for such service someone must advertize.

A Question:
        Did anyone else suddenly get blessed with call waiting from Bell? 
        No one in my family asked for it, yet I find out from a friend 
        that it's the reason I keep getting kicked off boards when 
        someone calls.  Worst of all we have already called once and
        asked for it to be removed.  According to them we do not have 
        call waiting.  It works like call waiting, we even have the 
        ability to hear another call coming in and switch lines.  

                Such is the power of Monopolies

Yes, I am blessed with the wonders of call waiting.  I am interupted on 
occasion and it is a real anoyance.  I looked into the situation and this 
is what I have found.  There is an override code that can be used to turn 
the function off for one call.  Usualy, you dial *70 on a touch tone 
phone and then you will get another dial tone.  Dial the number and call 
waiting will not interupt you until you hang up.  On pulse phones the 
code is 70.  This information is available at the thleboutique.  If you 
are talking to someone and you get that anoying tone, you can override 
the other call but I have lost the card with the instructions, so you 
will have to go to the teleboutique.  However, there are some problems 
with the system. Not all equipment has the capibility to do this, like 
mine.  If it does not work for you, call 411 and ask them about it.  I 
can't help if Bell doesn't even know you have the function.  

Hope this helps

You must have an IBM3270 emulation program (e.g. tn3270 or x3270 on
an X window system).  

To access MUSE,:
	tn3270 mvs.mcgill.ca
and follow the on screen instruction.

To access MUSICB:
	tn3270 vm1.mcgill.ca.
