I'm curious here, has anyone REALLY asked that these things be released.
I don't mean asking some clerk at the hotline.  I mean an organized letter
writing campaign to Bob Kavner (President of Data Systems Group).

In my time with AT&T I have found that a lot of these "sore subjects" can
be resolved if one knows how to go about it EFFECTIVELY.  Few people do.
