I live in the Boston area (617). The pollen count returned was for the New York/New Jersey area. When the playback completed, I was presented with dialtone. But it was not local dialtone (audio characteristics are different). And I could break the dialtone by pressing a button. Interesting. Regards, Mark Becker Internet: mbeck@ai.mit.edu

I just knew you would want to update your Roladex file with these two entries: For the pollen count in your area -- 1-800-962-1234 (plus an advertisement for an allergy medication) For information on how to start your own 900 line -- 1-900-976-6688 (no reference given to the cost of the call to find out; usually this is a no-no ... the ad is supposed to give the cost.)
