C'punks,

While reading the July issue of Soldier of Fortune, I ran across
an ad for yet another telephone anonymity service.  It reads:

			CALL 1-900-CUT TRAX

	Secure your most sensitive calls from all forms of
	caller I.D. and return-call technologies?

	Now make calls from your own telephone safely and
	anonymously.  No need to find a public phone to
	be discreet.

	Trackers never see your number...only ours!  And
	their number will not appear on your phone bill.

	Call any number in the continental US...

	Just $3.95 a minute for safe secure conversations!

	Call 1-900-CUT-TRAX (1-900-288-8729)
	Beacon Telesystems 914-423-3329

Not necessarily as secure as they would have you believe, but
it does demonstrate there is a market for anonymity, I guess.

If one can afford it, I suggest chaining through 
1-900-CUT-TRAX
and
1-900-STO-PPER

There was some talk of one or the other of these services halting access 
to other 1-900 numbers.  Haven't used it recently enough to know if it 
still works.

I doubt you can chain them -- how would they do billing?

You could at one time.  It was great fun.

I just tried both ways, can't anymore.

Pity.
