	 MCI tells their customers not to let the phone ring more than 6
times.  Then hang-up and try the number again.  When you use the line for the
length of time that 6 rings consume, AT&T automatically starts billing MCI.
MCI has no way of knowing if you were talking or if the phone was ringing.
When we accidently let it ring more than 6 times and are billed for the call,
a call to MCI removes the call from our bill.  And they are really nice about
it.  I'll stick with MCI for cheaper long cistance calls and courtesy, too.
