Just my 2ยข. The delete key is your friend.
I can probably name you half a dozen companies which are, or were, "all over" this sort of thing, and at least two of them are Bell/YP shops. I used to work for one of the others (prior to the usual dot-com implosion). Right now, they seem to expect you to 411 it, instead, and let the low-wage humans on the other end of the line make a guess. And remember: just because it's a killer app doesn't mean anyone is willing to pay for it. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com lucifer@lightbearer.com http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
