Where in this announcement:

"On Free World Dialup, go ahead and dial: *1 (area code) Number.
We have arranged to pick up the costs to allow members of the Free World 
Dialup community to place calls into the US and Canada for Free during the 
2003 holiday season.
While the offical press release will follow later today or tomorrow, you 
can help out in the beta-trials of this holiday gift today.
Feel free to share the holiday spirit and cheer. :-)"

.. does it say * cannot be used?  Remember, I tried this a week ago and got 
the "this service is available to FWD members only" message.  Pulver posted 
the message mentioning the restriction on 21 December - I've been waiting 
since December 18 for a reply to my original report of a problem.

Still, there seems to be a "you get what you pay for" theme to many of 
today's posts and this clearly applies to support on FWD.  Naybe we should 
remove the signature from * that enables FWD to identify * systems :-)
