040901 - Discussed with Millie the advantage of having a second line for the
040902 - modem to help her with the computer.  It works much better if we can
040903 - talk on one line while looking at the screen via modem on the 2nd
040904 - line.  She asked me to order the 2nd line.
040906 -  ..
040907 - This may come handy for working at L&C or at some other outfit, if
040908 - that materializes.
040910 -  ..
040911 - Should get confirmation within 2 days.

0412 - Talked to Cynthia at Pac Bell
0413 -
041301 - Cynthia initially set up order #N35567337, then when we decided to
041302 - consolidate the billings, Cynthia said we can use the original order:
041303 -
041304 -                       T14536566
041305 -
041307 -  ..
041308 - Arranged to add a 2nd line at:

041311 -                    Concord, CA  94518
041312 -
041313 - ...for Internet access.
041315 -  ..
041316 - Cynthia said the 2nd line will have a different prefix.  I asked about
041317 - getting the 2nd number to increment the 1st line so they are easier to
041318 - remember.  Cynthia said it costs $10 for her to place a call to get
041319 - two sequenced numbers.  I asked her to do that.  I was on hold for
041320 - about 15 minutes.  Cynthia came back on line and apologized for taking
041321 - so long.  She said she is holding to get the information on the two
041322 - sequenced numbers.  I asked her to call me back when she gets the
041323 - information.  She said she cannot call back until after 1300, because
041324 - she has to keep her line open for incoming calls.  I asked to talk to
041325 - her supervisor.  She asked me to hold on.  She came back on line in
041326 - about 5 minutes and said she is holding for the supervisor, but has
041327 - the two numbers.
041329 -  ..
041330 - Cynthia said she will waive the $10 charge for getting these numbers
041331 - because of the time I was holding.  I asked if there are any other
041332 - charges Pac Bell can waive because of excessive hold time?  Cynthia
041333 - said she cannot waive other charges.
041335 -  ..
041336 - The new phone number in the apartment is changed today
041337 -

041373 -      figure out the wiring ourselves based on what is at 440 Davis
041374 -      Court #416.  If we cannot get the phones to work, we can ask the

041380 -
041381 - Cynthia asked under what name we want the 2nd line to be listed by
041382 - Information and in the phone book?  I said we don't want it listed.
041383 - Cynthia said it it will cost another $.30 per month to not list the
041384 - 2nd line.  I asked her to call Millie to see how she might want the
041385 - 2nd line listed.  Cynthia put me on hold and called Mille.  She came
041386 - back on line about 10 minutes later and she got Millie's voice mail,
041387 - but did not leave a message.  She asked me to consult with Millie and
041388 - let them know how to list the 2nd line.  We decided to list it as
041389 - Millie Buck, and if she can change it if she wishes later.
041391 -  ..
041392 - I asked about consolidating the billings.  Cynthia said we can do this
041393 - and it will eliminate the need to have a duplicate listing in the
041394 - phone book.
041396 -  ..
041397 - Decided to use consolidated billing to simplify payment.

041403 - The $6.00 per month billing rate measures the time on local calls and
041404 - there are different rates for time of day.  Within the $6 rate
041405 - customer can make $3 of meassured calls and over that there is an
041406 - extra charge.  Calls received and sent to the Message Center are
041407 - treated as calls against the measured rate.
041409 -  ..
041410 - Calls from 510 to 415 are classified as "local plus" which are not
041411 - charged against the $3 per month limit for the measured service rate
