[ale] OT: OT: Does anyone here use AT&T naked DSL ?

[Matt Kubilus]

Alright, just got off the phone with AT&T/Bellsouth.  You can only get
S.A.F.A if you have a Cingular cell phone.  Darn.

It would cost about the same to have cell + S.A.F.A as landline +
ADSL.  Not a bad deal for cell phone users.  Once my tmobile contract
expires perhaps . . .
