BSTJ subscriptions including Unix issue

[ables at cyb-eng.UUCP]

[BSTJs?? We don't need no stinking BSTJs!]

First of all, thanks to all the people who sent me phone numbers
for the various ways to contact Bell about the journal.  I talked
to someone at their "outsiders" circulation desk ( (201)564-2582).
What I wanted to do was subscribe for a year and have it start with
the October issue (I figured for $35 for a whole year vs $27 for one
issue, I could be interested in what they do in other issues, what's
$8 when you're spending $35, right?).  Well, they told me I could not
subscribe now and have my subscription include that one.  No way, no how.
Guess you have to know when they're coming out with one if you want to
get it through subscription.  I'll just have to break down, I guess.

Then again, I could just wait for one to circulate around here, that'd
show 'em (sure it would).  Maybe I should ask them if I can bill it to
my calling card!
