Pacific Bell will be expanding its local calling area from eight miles to twelve miles beginning June 1. I just got my notice today detailing all the wonderful new exchanges that are soon to be free local calls. The funny thing, though, is that "976" is included as a free exchange in my list! I have to wonder how much confusion that will cause. "Mommy, can I dial this number I saw on cartoons?" "I don't know, honey; is it on the list of free numbers?" "Yep." "Okay." John C.
