This was a discussion of ISDN that Dan appears to want to skirt. My 
position is that there has been some movement toward implementing ISDN 
recently in some quarters. I expect to know within about 6 months whether 
these noises reflect real movement, or just PR.  Dan wants to discuss 
other stuff........  

On Mon, 14 Aug 1995, DDern fails to discuss substitantive content (why is 
this unsurprising? :

My comment concerning ISDN is accurate, (reflecting multiple sources at
Jerry Lucas's conference a few weeks ago), but your's is merely foolish,
Dan,... that's the difference. For example, we'll see if GM does this
nonsense you speak of below. The proof is in the pudding, kiddo, not in a
name, or a title, or an employment affiliation.  I have made numerous
observations to this list that have been vindicated in spades.  If you
followed my posts, you'd know that.  8-)
 
For example, a couple of months ago Chip kept saying that the FCC reforms 
were in doubt, using as a source a single NYTs article.  I told him the 
probability of their passing was very high, and that they would probably 
clear the House in Aug.  He assailed me for a few days thereafter, much as 
you seem to be doing now, ...... but we have not heard much from him about 
the FCC reforms more recently.     ;-)

Anyone have any opinions about the probability of a veto override?

So, believe whatever you will.  Your misperceptions are not my problem. 

The following is Dan's comedic example:

Been nippin on this elixir, Dan?
