[Blindtlk] Making very little progress Re: Urgent Request!Please Help!

[Gary Wunder]

This is not the only example of unlimited long distance actually having some 
limitations. I believe the phone company I have which is century tell has 
made a distinction between calling to talk to an individual and calling into 
some of the all-day conference lines. I gather that there are some blind 
chat rooms which take place on the phone and that one person I know was told 
he was using his telephone in more of a commercial been a residential manner 
because he was spending up to eight hours a day and this blindness chat 
room.
