David, Madison, WI area. I advertise in the SBC pages here - the big one. There are other smaller yp's too, but this one has the highest circulation in the area. Never been questioned about my line. Now, though I have no trouble advertising in the YP, I do not get the business listing in the business white pages - need a business line for that. Regards, William R.
