Possibly, although L-D billing being the confusing mess that it is (I know -- I work for MCI), it's not only possible but probable that the physically closest gateway may not be the lowest cost gateway. This is particularly true when comparing intrastate (RBOC) and interstate (L-D carrier) billing. Moot point for me, because I don't think any of the GUUCP gateways are in Colorado, but I strongly suspect that it would be cheaper for me to call New Jersey than it would to call Denver. Go figure. Anyway, I'll try sending something to myself via the gateway, and see what comes back.
