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.

Apologies for any confusion.] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Personnel Announcements at EFF. Contact: EFF: Andrew Taubman , +1 202 861 7700 The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) announced today several significant personnel changes. EFF is a non-profit, public interest organization that seeks to protect and enhance the growth of "Cyberspace" (the Global Information Infrastructure) as a diverse, free, responsible and empowering environment. David Johnson has been named Chair of the EFF Board of Directors and Senior Policy Fellow of EFF. Johnson, an EFF Board member since 1993, has been practicing computer law with the Washington, DC, law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering. He has direct experience with computer networks as Chairman of LEXIS Counsel Connect (an on-line system for lawyers). He joins Andrew Taubman, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, who began at EFF in September of 1994. Esther Dyson has been named Vice-Chair and will serve on the EFF Executive Committee. Dyson is President of EDventure Holdings Inc., a venture capital firm focused on emerging information technologies, particularly in Eastern Europe. Dyson is a member of the US National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council, has board memberships at the Global Business Network, Perot Systems, the Santa Fe Institute, and is a founding member of the Software Publishers Association. Johnson and Dyson join David J. Farber and Rob Glaser on the EFF Executive Committee. Farber holds the Alfred Fitler Moore Professorship of Telecommunications at the University of Pennsylvania, is a fellow at the Annenberg School for Public Policy and at the Glocom Institute in Japan and was one of the creators of many of the parts that evolved into the modern Internet - such as CSNet, CREN, and NSFNet. Glaser is President and CEO of Progressive Networks, an interactive media and services company and serves on such boards as the Foundation for National Programs and the Washington Public Affairs Network. EFF co-founders Mitchell Kapor (immediate past Chair) and John Perry Barlow (immediate past Vice-Chair) remain Directors and will continue to participate actively in the development and implementation of EFF policy programs. Also announced, Jerry Berman, who held the position of Policy Director, has left EFF. Janlori Goldman and Daniel Weitzner, who have worked closely with Mr. Berman over the years, and other policy staff members, also have left to establish with Mr. Berman a new organization to be called the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). EFF wishes CDT success in its new venture and thanks Jerry and his colleagues for their substantial contributions over the past three years. In 1995, EFF will continue to pursue its policy mission of protecting the health and growth of the global computer networks. The 1995 policy agenda includes such projects as an innovative new "State of the Net" report; studies of the implications of the global nature of the net for jurisdictional and governance questions; a study of the protection of intellectual property on networks; and efforts to preserve the free flow of information across the Global Information Infrastructure. EFF expects to continue to intervene actively to counter threats to computer-mediated commmuniations networks, and virtual communities, such as limitations on the use of cryptography and intrusions into personal privacy, as it has in previous years. 30/30 -- Stanton McCandlish
