Anyhow... to answer your question, here in Pac*Smell (SoCal) the rate is $1,000 for the installation, $100.10 for the first 6 miles, and a mileage charge beyond that. I've ordered circuits from GTE also, their installation rate is a bit higher, $1,240. Monthly fees are similar though. -- Javier Henderson (JH21) henderson@mln.com
