        Hi Tim,

        Actually commissions for options are getting better.  Dreyfus at
www.tradepbs.com is $1.75/contract with a $15.00 min. each way.  A round
turn of 10 contracts only costs $35.00  This is much better than most firms
(Schwab is $100.00+- for the same trade).

                                       Good luck and good trading,
                                                    Ray Raffurty
