[Moderator's Note: Ditto from here. I've got enough messages waiting
in the queue I could post several issues daily from now through Boxing
Day and not run out ... I'll try to get a few more issues out to the
net between now and the weekend ... but there are other things in my
universe in addition to telecom, you know ... :)   My best wishes to
all for a happy holiday and a wonderful new year.  PAT]
