Mike,              The instructions that came with my latest Telephone Bill said that the       1 wouldn't have to be dialed for numbers that are on local Exchanges in       my Area Code, but for numbers in my same Area Code but in another part       of the State the 1 would have to be dialed.              I'm not sure, but "I think" right now, before the BIG CHANGE begins,       if I want to call another number that isn't a local call I can dial       1 then the 3 digits for the Exchange and the last 4 digits.              I haven't called anyone down in the next County where I use to live for       a very long time so I could be mistaken.       I might have to dial the Area Code after I dial the 1.       I don't know, can't remember.       73              ... I wish life had a scroll-back buffer.       --- MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.49       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux        * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1)    |
