I hope you can appreciate the sentiment. Even if you can't deal with this now, I'd at least ask for an ack and a guess at when you will be able to deal.

I hope you can appreciate the sentiment. Yes, I feel it too. Here's where I am. I've collected *all* of it, including Oct93, except for Kenton Hoover's $980. That should be forthcoming. Sigh. For November: it seems reasonable for us to pay TIS a pro-rated fraction of the previous monthly billing. I'll check with Stu Grossman for the exact switch over date, but I believe it's 7 Nov. That will be (assuming) 7/31ths of $325. (I think that's $325, I'll check or you can correct me.) Palo Alto is still conected of course. (Order is in for the leased line move; I don't have the date here.) The traffic is low, compared to the overall Cygnus/TLG T1 traffic was. Is it acceptable for Nov93 billing purposes to consider P.A. a 56K load on TIS/Alternet, with a value of $300 per month, and prorate that for whatever portion of Nov it ends up being? If so, I propose to pay TIS: Assuming 7 Nov was the day TLG switched over to sprint, and X is the day we pull the plug on 814 University, TIS gets X - 7 ------ * $300 31 (Up through the 7th it seems fair to consider it all as before the switchover, unchanged.) If you have other ideas, fire away! If you would like, I'll write TIS a check for: all outstanding bills, excluding Kenton's 980, and including the Oct93 bills from everyone, and including Cygnus' prorated share through 7 Nov. I will mail that Monday (I leave first thing Friday AM and return early eve). And when we complete the PA disconnect, pay TIS for the outstanding amount (TBD) and Kentons outstanding 980. Who should I make the check out to? I *will* get you the $980, this month. It's too bad it went so long uncollected, as it has apparently built up to a signifigant sum, hence the delay. -- Tom Jennings -- tomj@wps.com -- World Power Systems -- San Francisco, Calif.
